@tatiGmail - That's exactly correct. And that's precisely what I have chosen to do. If it ended there, fair enough.
Alas, apparently it doesn't end there. If Facebook retains my "deleted" data and uses it without my consent, then they're not really even a true "opt-out" service, after all. If there's no way to delete my data once they have it, and they continue to use it without my consent, they're no better than a common thief.
No, wait...they're worse than that; they're thieves masquerading as a legitimate service provider. And if "deleting" my data doesn't actually end up deleting it, then they're liars into the bargain.
I've said this before, and each new discovery about Facebook's operations and policies increasingly convinces me that it's true: Facebook is headed for a fall.
