My wife is in the process of deleting her #facebook account. So, she downloaded an archive of all her activity there.
The scariest part is the "ads_and_businesses" folder. It contains all the businesses that uploaded data about her on FB. A list of all the websites visited, outside of Facebook, and when they were last visited.
Lastly, a list of all the ads she clicked on. Funny thing, she doesn't remember clicking any of those. But I can see why she might have ;)
From a home timeline on #Facebook, it takes 9 clicks, and entering the user password, to trigger an account deletion. Facebook asks you to confirm 4 times that you want to delete the account. #metrics #deletefacebook
@neauoire good question. I'd guess it's 30% (based on absolutely no research or evidence :) )
And to be clear, it's not my account but my wife's account we just deleted. Mine, I deleted it when Trump was president-elect. And I never regreted that :)
@xuv then you gotta make sure you don't log in for a whole month
@xuv yup... A new kind of captivity
Facebook
@xuv I wonder how many people on Merveilles have a Facebook account, if I had to guess I'd say almost nobody has one.
