Step 1. 'Delete' Facebook account<p>Step 2. Wonder whether or not your data is really deleted or not<p>Step 3. Realise all of your family, friends, acquaintances, ex-friends and 'random people who gave you their email address at some point and they accepted your friend request but god knows why', are on Facebook.<p>Step 4. Sign up for Facebook again<p>Step 5. Wallow in your own shame and self-hatred for doing so.
Outside of what people might think of Facebook's approach to privacy, sections of the site like this show that they are at least listening to the feedback of users and making changes as a result.<p>I can't help but think however that it doesn't go far enough for the hardcore critics, while most other users simply don't care enough to read something like this. Something of a thankless job.
