You know the padlock privacy icon that used to be at the top of your Facebook page? Well, it's gone. No more option to close an account. Swell.

Facebook is becoming the Hotel California of social media sites.

Abandon Fecebook

Every login provides money that is used against US.

At least I can delete the app on my phone. Without that, I can just ignore that it exists. :)

Depends on the phone. Some you cant, you just “disable” the app.

That’s one way to prevent users from leaving! Hotel California indeed!

I had to create an account for work today. It let me, however when I tried to verify it was me creating the account, the site had a ‘DB error’ and said come back later.

I posted early to find out if anyone else had run into this. If people are also not able to create accounts, that’s pretty big news.

An avalanche of people deleting their accounts has not been good for advertising revenue

ESPECIALLY the people who have money

I was put in FB jail for 30 days, and I used the time to cancel 2 orders I had place with companies I had found through FB ads. And I told them why.

It’s still there, just hidden and not easy.

You have to “log in” and click the “let us know”.

Then you have to click through multiple “do you really really want to do this” pages.
