It's <i>really</i> nasty to put this as a top-level link in HN without explanation---this is not an article or announcement about the Delete Button, <i>it is the delete button itself</i>.
The "Delete your Facebook" crowd remind me of bad televangelical ministers. Why are they trying to get other people to delete their accounts? We can save our own souls, thanks.
Apparently I can't view the delete button without being asked to create an account. :-)<p>But even without my having created an account they know who has asked me to friend them and use that as a hook to try to get me to sign up. That's just creepy.
Traditionally facebook's "delete button" holds on to all of your information for another 14 days and if you log back in that period your account is restored.<p>Sort of like "we dare you to go cold turkey" - I'd love to know what the re-login stats are.
Please stop doing that...!<p>If somebody wants to delete his fb account is his own business. It's really upsetting if this stupid trend evangelizing against fb keeps going on HN.
