I have a love and hate affair with Facebook. Firstly, it is the only place where I regularly catch up with distant family and friends - including those I barely know. On the other hand, the social network is a terrible distraction, often also tasteless sound like day TV and he pushes the line when it comes to privacy. If you are thinking about ditching Facebook once for all, you are not alone.
Last shot of anger-agitation of Facebook was his experiences with the flow of Internet users to manipulate their moods. The company wanted to see if she could make users happier or sadder by changing what users of Facebook 689 003 (including those under 18 years old) seen on the network. Facebook defenders say it's all part of the mandate of the network social service, although it seems that the clause allowing Facebook to use your data for research was not added until four months after the experience.
Maybe Facebook has crossed a line it. Or maybe they have crossed the line when the company said that they would start using your Web (outside of Facebook) history for targeted advertising. Or maybe it happened with one number of other things that Facebook has made over the years to erode confidence.
Protection of personal information and emotional manipulation side, using Facebook could actually make us unhappy. At the very least, it can be a huge time waster.
If you read this article, you might not need convincing as to leave Facebook, then follow these steps to delete your account:
Download your data.Save your photos and your messages by clicking on the padlock of settings in the top menu, more settings, then general. Click on the «download a copy of your Facebook data» to start the process. This will save your photos, videos, messages and other information of Facebook as a Zip file.Change your connection mode for applications that use Facebook connect. If you connect to sites using your Facebook account, change how you connect to them so that they no longer use Facebook. Otherwise, if you use Facebook connect again after deleting your Facebook account, it will restore your Facebook account. Argh!Delete your Facebook account.Go to the deletion of Facebook page and confirm that you really want to delete your account. Note that this is different from the setting 'Disable account' under security settings. Disable simply removes your calendar information and prevents others from looking out for you, but some of your information is always visible and saved by Facebook. Permanent deletion of your account will not let you access your account again, and it removes personally identifiable information associated with your account.You might feel uncomfortable about deleting your Facebook account forever - or maybe you can't wait to be free from the social network. If you are unsure, you can always try to disable first. Maybe you won't even notice when Facebook is out of your life.
