Final straws were:

-Wife got gas at the local Sonoco and she told me later that day some random dude tried to befriend her on FB. She looked at his profile and he works at the Sonoco station.

-Companies associated with TransUnion/Experian are building credit risk profles based on who your friends are on FB.

-Email from FB yesterday explaining that any/all data submitted on your profile can be used for whatever purpose they desire.

CONS > PROS

Goodbye

Privacy is an illusion on the internet. Facebook is not the issue here if you know how to configure your security settings.

Your profile/data is not gone. It's cached. You are still out there. You accomplished nothing.
