Does Facebook Invade Your Privacy?

I recently read that Facebook keeps all of your records even after your deleter your account! So in case you decide to come back everything is there! Is this really invading our privacy? They do have legal permission since you accepted the legal terms and conditions of use! So why are people complaining so much? Yes its dangerous to have your information out in the web, but why did you do it on the first place! People need to be smarter.

Besides if you really want your information deleted you can do it manually which sucks but works...so instead of taking the time to write millions of email and complains you shoud spend 20min erasing your information of your profile.

This type of complain I dont agree with. I really dont think its doing anything wrong. Besides the information is being used for advertisers, so they can better serve you! On the other hand, why cant facebook have an option to either be erased completely or not. How about that? Well who knows, maybe its their way to keep you addicted! If you wanted to use it for a thing you could just re-activate the account and your back on it like you left it...are u addicted?? that may be the real problem!

Allan, you're right. These people are complaining too much. There are settings in facebook that you can adjust so that certain parts get deleted. However, times are changing and I feel like people without cellphones or facebook are just ignorant and living in the stoneage. It's a required part of the young American culture of today. Even if you want to delete it, I feel like you can't! haha

I agree that facebook should provide the choice of deleting or not. but why would you wanna delete your facebook? who cares? just leave it and forget about it. if you forget about it. it's just like it never existed.
