Even if your account is deleted, anything in the past they will exploit. The key is if you are going to delete your facebook is several months in advance start changing your information. Different hometown, different e-mail, etc. etc. Mess with the database in otherwords. Too bad Facebook keeps your info. Even if your account is deleted, anything in the past they will exploit.

This site opened my eyes to the problem http://youropenbook.org/ Refresh the home page to see another "example" common phrase. It makes you wonder, why people would post this type of personal information in the first place (on what is a public site)? Greg,

FaceBook needs an eye opener into hw the overall community feels about there exploitation of FaceBook data in an opt-out rather than opt-in method. While a few hundred account deletions won't make them bat an eye, a public display of the same with enough buzz should have the effect of making them rethink the policy and either publicly chastizing the idea of privacy or modifying their methods. Greg,
