Cancel Facebook - I'm ill of the continuous privacy changes at Facebook, frustrated that I have in great faith entered a lots of details about myself and my social circles, just to have them continuously fine-tune and fiddle things so that they can get more presence and make more cash, all while jeopardizing my privacy. Exactly what's up with that, Zuckerberg?? I'm done. How can I cancel, delete, erase, axe, eliminate my account?
Cancel Facebook
I can absolutely have compassion with you. It's the only website I understand where I have to go through the personal privacy settings and ensure things haven't "progressed" to leave my details, connections and information more exposed to either search engine spiders or the general public than I desire. Truly, it's quite extremely lame on their part in a society where individuals grumble all the time about loss of privacy in the digital world.
That's another subject, however, I suppose.:-.
If you make sure that you do desire to delete your Facebook account then here's how you do that.
Are you sure that's exactly what you wish to do, nevertheless, instead of just going into the privacy settings and reducing your direct exposure?

Remembered your password? Excellent. Now show you're not a robotic:.
This CAPTCHA needs the words "Society" "darneder" (whatever that implies). Go into those properly and click "Submit".
Success! The account is formally shut down, eliminated, erased and ... um, simply a sec. As you can see from the text above, Facebook does not seem to erase your details, just shut down the account. I'm guessing that's not exactly what you want, but it's the very best you can do.
