Is Deleting Your Facebook Account Really a Good Idea?

Delete or not to delete is a individual choice…some folks understandable will not really get into the site like many other user will and long as the process to delete is easy and immediate if one chooses to leave the site..I see no reason to question to delete or not…don’t like it or it does appeal or bring you the benefits you are seeking then delete and move on.

Is like a channel on TV or cable you just have issues with don’t like, then just do watch, same for any social site etc…simple to me

After soo many articles and blogs I’ve come across past few months regarding shoddy and inept security and privacy policies., I found out how and DID delete my FBk account 2 nights ago.. Tho FBk says it will not be deleted for 14 days in case I want to return.. Crap on that I say..
I’m outta there folks.. I want no part of them..

That people are deleting their FB accounts because of privacy concerns on the Internet is incredibly stupid! So is it fine that the NSA, CIA, and every other ***A out there is recording your every keystroke but now you wanna get mad cause FB is sharing information about you? Duh, I think Roy Cobden’s comments sum up my thoughts pretty well:

“Life is tough, and it gets tougher if you’re stupid!

I am sorry but face book does not have that many great options and is almost as lame as Tagged which is my least favorite of the networks. I prefer 1. NING 2. Myspace and the rest are lame. At least ning lets you make your own personal social network although they are going to start charging to own a network wich I am not happy about but love my network regardless and you do get great options. Myspace is still number 1 of the national networks and has the best features! And unlike the other is completely devoted to being a non pay site regardless. Facebook is now charging for too much crap. I still keep my accounts for my friends sake BUT am hardly ever on there unless I have to check on my way too many invites to way too many lame apps! I hate that…

The ONLY reason I keep my Facebook account is to keep in touch with family and friends.
Facebook is making it increasingly hard to navigate and almost impossible to find anything but the main reason is/was the idiots that who have no idea about security and what spam is.
Some people should never be allowed to come within 100klms of a PC… hehe

You CANNOT delete your account from Facebook, you can only suspend it…end of story. They have the rights to ALL the personal info you have ever put in there.
Did I say end of stroy?
WHY??? people, do they want to keep ALL our personal data on record?

This might sound bitter but I am happy now without Facebook.

I’ve been using FB since their founding but I was maliciously reported to be harassing people. Well’ I am a blogger and I am entitled to my own opinions.

I requested FB to reactivate my account but they said that their decision was final. well, F%$K Y^%!!! You can’t just do that to legitimate users.

I was so disappointed because that was my personal account and I’ve been using it for years. Why disable mine and they could not even explain their basis?

Ironically, there are numerous accounts obviously used for marketing purposes, and I believe that is enough reason to disable but they are not doing it.

F%$^ FB! There is definitely life outside FB!

Some of the comments I have to agree with. Never put anything on the web that you wouldn’t do in your front yard is a good way to say it. Keep your profile simple. Don’t add everything about yourself.

Also, if you think when that you delete your account it is completely erased you are wrong. BlogDumps.com is my social site and I have to do the final deletion to get rid of the data, not the user, and all social sites are set up that way. It’s supposed to be so, this way you can write support and tell them to re-activate your account because you think you made a mistake.

The problem I see with Social sites is that to get people to use them it has to be free. Then the server bills start to get large and the data storage become unbelievable. With no income it becomes necessary to do whatever is possible to keep the site up and running thus the spam and the junk starts. I don’t believe this should be the the way it should work.

I run my site on donations and getting featured for a small cost, I sell a few links. Then I manage my site accordingly, if I cannot have anymore users due to funds I stop registrations until the site can support itself not use the site to make money anyway possible… How wrong can that be to do this to your loyal users that count on you to have created a clean and spam free site. I make no bones about it in my terms you spam or do nasty porn and your gone baby! I take flagging a user very serious.

So I guess in a nut shell – Mismanagement is the basis for failure, I’ll keep my place clean and user friendly and not be a sell out.

I am so frustrated with facebook. I definitely will be deleting my account. The privacy issues are so disrespectful. It was set up as a way to keep some information private so you could connect with family and friends as well as acquaintances. I liked that there were different levels of privacy. It meant I had one place to connect with people instead of needing four different places. I guess my own blog is the only way to go so I can control who sees what.

The ease of gathering user information on individuals who don’t want it is unbelievable. No one has any idea who’s grabbing your information and how much of it and the inability to turn that off for the entire net goes against how they started out. It would be different if they stated that they would change their policies continually, so you’d know ahead of time. Instead they hook you on one idea and then you are locked in to something you never intended on. It’s like a switch and bait deal and really, a class action suit sounds great to me.

I know my information will be out there in some respect, but I don’t expect private information to suddenly go public. Way to go Facebook. You’ll be seeing a huge dip in membership over the next few months as people realize what you have done.

I don’t wanna delete ma facebook account. as I am connected to my best friends with it. facebook is great way to make friends and also to make your friends closer.

At first, I just thought facebook was a monumental waste of time.

Now that some WEASEL%^&* has hijacked my facebook account, put their own foreign name on it with MY EMAIL ADDRESS still there, and changed all of the other account info to suit their moronic agenda, I am convinced that:

facebook is a lame pile of toad flop designed to get idiots dependent upon it so that their miserable pale lives can be further eroded and insipified.

Businesses that use facebook as a marketing tool are PAWNS of TOOLS.

“Engineers” that design and maintain facebook are being paid to construct and glorify the most arcane and worthless Rube Goldberg-esque house of cards on the internet.

BTW, human social interaction is sitting in the same room, seeing, feeling, smelling, hearing, etc.
NOT tweeting, following, ganging, wonking, or schmoodling.

facebook ca ca poo poo !

…did you get all that?

Huge parts of the under-developed world are suffering problems with waste computer parts from the rest of the world that want to tell each other what they had for breakfast… Yeah right, as if that’s gonna help anyone.

I admit I tried FB on the request of a ‘real’ friend and quickly realised that all the people that I connected with wouldn’t deem to write an email directly but would bore me with their daily routines, sorry guys but I love my friends but don’t need 7,000 of them to make me feel better about myself.
So yes, I deleted my FB acc. last year. Or at least I thought I had but just going in to check activated the account again.

Now I’m definitely out of there!!!

Not sure whether to abandon it completely though because if it’s a case of can’t beat them join them, then I shall have to make a business site……..

The only time I go on Facebook is if I get a message from a Friend of which I’ve informed them to please rather use my email address as it is a hazzle for me to go on Facebook. I believe that one does not need social networking sites such as Facebook for the individual. It is great for Social Clubs and Organisations as that way it becomes like a Newsletter with members views, opinions and Team Photo Albums etc hence all kept in one place.

I have very mixed feelings about it as there are no benefits for the individual.

Just google the logo of the owners of Facebook.

Facebook is a big fitna from Dajjal. Those who wil understand this point should take notice.

No, I did n

Facebook harms your business and your personal image. Facebook is scam, dangerous and fake.

It has absolutely no added value to your life or business, it costs lots of (wasted) time.
More then 50 % of the users of facebook are using fake names, you will never find out anyway.

To share information there are lots of other honest and more secure ways. Use email instead.

Facebook friends are no friends, it

I use my facebook account for both business and staying in contact with friends and family. From the beginning, I have declined to participate in any of the apps. that require sharing of my information. It’s become evident that FB’s corporate security is lax. What really irks me is that every now and then, they “update” something, that returns my security settings to a default of “everybody”! I’m not quite ready to delete it, but I’m getting closer every day!

A little confused as to why someone would want to delete their FB account. Most begin using Social Networks to present information about themselves and to interact with others, so why would someone suddenly be concerned about privacy? If you are this concerned about privacy – up date your profile with erroneous, irrelevant information and don’t participate.

I deleted my account after 3 weeks of opening it. I don’t like Facebook, something about them. They could be top dog and I still won’t deal with them.
