Several Reasons to Quit Facebook




Top Ten Reasons You Should Quit Facebook
Facebook was started by Mark Zuckerberg, 23, while he was a student at Harvard in 2004. The general concept was to digitize the legendary freshman-year “Facebook,” and allow students not only to gawk at one another’s photos but also to flirt, network, interact. The site’s instant popularity prompted Zuckerberg, showing a restraint beyond his years, to roll out the site to other colleges rather than opening it up to everyone.



Nevertheless, Facebook privacy policies keep going down the drain. That's enough reason for many to quit it. First of all, Facebook makes it incredibly difficult to delete user account truly. One thing to make a data public or even mislead users about doing so but where I really draw the line is when the user decided to delete their account, it’s petty cunning to really delete their account. They make no promises about deleting all the user data and every application that have been used may keep it as well. Other than that, account deletion is really confusing. All Facebook users were given option to deactivate their account, but not the same thing as deleting it. Deactivating means user can still be tagged in photos and spammed. Finally, when logged back, users are back like nothing happened. To be precise, it is not much different from not logging in for a while. To delete an account, the particular user should find a link hidden in the online help, means it takes more than 1 click to get there. In fact, Facebook is trying to trick their users into allowing them to keep their data even after “deleted” their account.
