Facebook Does Not Delete You Easily

Sick of Facebook? Wondering about third party privacy issues? What a silly thing to even think about, you might say. But do you know that Facebook has recently come under government scrutiny in Canada? So what if you want to save face and leave?

It's pretty simple to deactivate your account, but there is a difference between account deactivation and deletion. Did you know...

...your information still resides on Facebook's servers because, as Facebook says, roughly half of people who decide they don't want a Facebook profile page change their mind and reactivate it...this shouldn't be the case.

Deleting the account, though, isn't as clear to Facebook users.
