Shit, I just remade an account a few weeks ago actually. I had deleted it in 2011 and was able to get on with life fairly fine. Haven't really had too much action though in that time, so I figured maybe if I seemed less weird and got a fb it'd help 
...But idk i kinda want to get off it again though. So many things bother me about it. And it gives my anxiety.

I made an account "Term eschew" They deleted my account and banned my IP faster than I could look up more than one of my exes. My guise was to be a well dressed indian man in his 20's. I think Term might have been a little too radical.

Ythan said: ...out of nowhere they locked my account and require a scan of my government-issued ID to re-enable it. I don't even use the site for business purposes, I just like to instant message people and watch my ex-girlfriends get fat. Right now I consider myself mildly annoyed, but I know some people put a lot of their stuff on there: important photos of life events and that kind of thing, and for them this could be devastating. One day you may try to log in and all you'll see is this. I know it's been their published policy for a while but I always figured it was just some fine print to use against suspected criminals and malicious users. NOPE! Anyone can get popped. Facebook now wants more info about me than Paypal, which I use for actual financial transactions every week.
I'm using my small little platform here in the corner of the web to recommend that y'all go backup any important information from Facebook, and cancel your account. I'll be over on Google+ if you need me. https://plus.google.com/102728058429974797502/posts
I heard this happening to a few people, you're probably rather interesting since you created the Shroomery (for which we all thank you).
Anyway, I discovered something even creepier about facebook. On my smartphone, the facebook messenger app secretly takes photos of me (secret selfies) which I discovered using software against malicious activity. This freaked me out and I have now destroyed the selfie cam (which is teh gey anyway).

Well Ythan all they want is your name, picture and birthday, which is all information you'd have on there already. I don't think it's THAT invasive, albeit a really stupid policy.
I countered this by never signing up for Facebook to begin with. My life is just fine without it.

wtf, how are you sure it's FB that implemented that? You prob can sue them for that if you can prove it. No disrespect but I also find your reaction pretty weird, U destroyed your cam but still use FB???

I understand your confusion about me destroying the cam but still using the messenger app. I never use the selfie cam anyways, its so fucking stupid I think (I've also disabled the webcam on my computer). But I need to use the messenger app, everyone I need is on there.

Something else to think about:
A lot of sites and apps let you sign in through Facebook. If you usually do so, if deleting your FB account, how do you sign into those past app/sites?
My guess is you can't. Delete your Facebook account and no more Tinder for you.

Pretty simple really, you don't need that shit. Like on my mac running native safari I had google, yahoo and bing for native search engines - just last year they opened it up to duck duck go. If it doesn't reflect your ideology get rid of it.

That's actually a very, very good point. I hadn't even thought about it but I have used Facebook as an OpenID provider for a number of sites and now I'll be locked out of all those accounts. I tested to be sure (with stackoverflow.com) and as you said, when your Facebook account is suspended, they won't give you an authentication token. That's an interesting and troubling implication of the OpenID system that I hadn't considered in the past.
Luckily I'm tech-savvy enough to start my own OpenID provider for personal use, but who's going to bother with that kind of thing unless they're forced to? I guess the takeaway here is to use a site's built-in account creation system when it's an option, and try to stay away from the central authentication services offered by sites like Facebook, Yahoo, Google, and Twitter.
That sucks because OpenID is a pretty good concept, but you really have to trust your provider to authenticate you on demand. Now that I think about it, I don't and I shouldn't have.

Can't you not even delete your account, only deactivate it?

You can delete it completely. Of course Facebook will keep your data and shit for their own private purposes but it's still your best option. 3rd parties won't have access then without some kind of archival software that they're unlikely to bother using on you.

Ah, has that recently been implemented? I thought I remember something about only having a choice to deactivate.

Not really, been around since at least 2011, that's when I killed mine.
Google search will easily find you a link. You have to wait 2 weeks and not log in during that time though, then it's gone and you can't get it back.
