Facebook also makes it very difficult to completely delete your account. I deactivated my account a year ago, yet I can still log in weirdly with everything intact. There is no definitive "DELETE" button which destroys all information.

I don't feel like writing a mail to them telling "Hey, delete all my photos and materials etc." And I won't even definitively know if they have done that without trying to log back in.

In short: Facebooks' a trap. Getting out is not easy- no clear directions to get out, which really grinds my gears. (Just like those spam emails with A SUPER tiny tiny "unsubscribe me" link- hey at least they provided me with one!)

In Europe they have laws for that sort of stuff.
