Facebook lets users check out any time they like
FACEBOOK HAS caved in and now allows its users to escape the clutches of the vampiric site.
Users complained that once they'd signed up to the anti-social networking site they couldn't get out. It was almost as if the site was making life difficult on purpose. There were no instructions anywhere on how to leave and some users were going batty trying to get out.
Not only did the site mail everyone in your mailbox - if you weren't careful - with your intimate details. Once it had you, it tried to keep you for life, with a complex ritual designed to stop users checking out.
Now, after facing uproar from users trying the escape the site has given up on the daft tactic and offered up an easy way to delete your account.

...But you can never leave!
OK, so you can check out of Facebook....

What about all the other sites:

Google, Yahoo, Gmail, Yahoo Messenger, etc. that are retaining all your information?

it's there really, really it is there.
It seems like not too long ago a reporter for this site was trying to have his Passport account deleted. Passport is Microsoft's MSN/Hotmail and general system for owning your private data. As well, Facebook is now Microsoft property.

I can't find the article anymore using the search. I do remember they gave this person the run-around too. Maybe it is time to again see if we are "allowed" to leave Hotmail/ anything Msft operates?
Never did like the way that site worked.
