<story><title>Delete Facebook Account</title><url>http://www.deletefacebook.com/</url></story><parent_chain><item><author>PrimeDirective</author><text>I &amp;quot;deleted&amp;quot; my account on Facebook about 7 years ago. This January they randomly reactivated it just like that. It&amp;#x27;s public and visible. I haven&amp;#x27;t logged in there, because that would just show them I want it back.
I&amp;#x27;m pretty sure this is in breach with their own terms. And maybe even illegal in the EU. I haven&amp;#x27;t had the time to take any action not am I sure what should I even do. Maybe report this to some EU watchdog?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>dbrgn</author><text>To avoid that kind of stuff, when I deleted my account a few years back, I used an automated script to delete all my posts. Then I went through my profile and replaced all fields with empty or no fake data.&lt;p&gt;If they ever reactivate my account, there&amp;#x27;s not much left to see.&lt;p&gt;By the way, I thought quitting Facebook was going to be hard. But I haven&amp;#x27;t regretted it a second. Same thing with Whatsapp.</text></comment>
