John Moe and the new public radio show
Future Tense did a segment this week about people quitting Facebook over privacy concerns. They report that quitting doesn't really resolve those concerns. First,
deleting is different from
deactivating, and the deletion process isn't easy for everyone to figure out. Still, even if you do manage to truly delete your account once and for all, John reports: "You'll never see that data again. But
Facebook will. They still have that information and will continue to use it for data mining." Will the data at least be anonymized, the reporter asked? The Facebook rep wouldn't say.
Caveat Facebooker.
