How to get off Facebook

Many thanks to this article: How do I delete my Facebook account? … personally i am of the opinion that it should be easy to remove yourself from any website, whenever you like, with no questions asked. I believe that cultivates trust in the site. Facebook make it extremely difficult, but it's nice to know it can be done.

I'm not yet sure whether i'm going to do it. I don't really use Facebook at all, and it's always nice to simplify my life a little bit by removing unnecessary things. Besides, you never know what they're secretly doing with all your personal data. I recently removed myself from LinkedIn and felt a huge relief for doing it.

So how do you get your profile off of Facebook? I'm serious. Someone I really do not like told me that they we approached through Facebook to be my "friend". I've not asked anyone to be my "friend" on this thing. I have a life. If you know how to get off of Facebook would you please tell me? I've looked and there doesn't seem to be any easy way. Got along withoutcha before I metcha, gonna get along without you now. Thanks,

For the time-being I don't want to get off facebook, but I am happy to hear that there is a way...Can these sites make use of our personal data?

if you are on facebook you are, pretty much, immortal, don't forget that. And yes Aimee, this is a HOT topic indeed!! check out the group 'things you didn't know about facebook', on facebook CHECK OUT :-)

I can actually see this becoming quite a hot topic as people get over the Web 2.0 phenomenon and suddenly realise that they've left their data trail all over the internet and suddenly want to get rid of it.

That sounds quite prophetic, doesn't it?! ;)

Very true.

However, i agree that it should always be an available option, and it should be immediate.

aimee

Yes, my husband thought the same thing. Maybe if you cause a fuss, the site is obliged to purge you ... but it doesn't mean they have to make it easy for you to remove yourself.

Springo

oh, i mean't that "I think it's actually a law"

Springo

I believe it's actually a low, that if you provide information to a company, that they have to use it for specific purposes, and that you have the right to choose to have it removed if you so wish.

One of the data protection acts I believe.

aimee

Yes, it is really rubbish of sites to not let you destroy your account if you want to. I also don't really understand why they're so anxious not to let you go. You created that information; you should be able to remove it too.

I joined BTPodshow a few years ago. There is no way to get off it! The same goes for DeviantArt, which is a real shame.

Even now when I search for my site on Google, it still comes up with stuff I want to get rid of. :(

Facebook applications are so addicting, no wonder why many myspace users had migrated to facebook
