Laughs. If you get your Identity stolen on FACEBook, you shouldn't use a computer. Last time I checked, they would need your social security number.

Only silly people type that online.

And only, well.. Brainless people would GIVE it out to people.


I to, think they are hiding the real truth behind it.

Your identity can be stolen with much less than your ss#, such as your name & dob which i'm sure many facebook users have listed.

Erm, why is this hiding in tiny font in this story :

"Marcus Yam; great articles."

It`s that damn NSA again, with Martians and Kennedy`s assassins thrown in as well. I hope they just keep your info in order to sell you more shit since facebook info is passed around so much, not that they`re building a "file" on me. /hope

Facebook --> Fail. Sorry I hate it, it's turned into a teenager haven and got ruined from all the damn games they try to put on there, its more about farmville, yoville, ville ville ville etc than networking now.

Facebook/Twitter please die already, your time is over...move on, go get a real life.

Hey guys! Tomshardware blocks your SIN number! See: ****************

/sarcasm. Like the others said: only idiots get their identities stolen.

Facebook is Fail.

I used the slow delete; I'm happier for it. I love life disconnected. It means I have choice over my connections, rather than being peer pressured into them.

 

[silentq]

this option should've been available to users from the beginning... common sense to me...

I have been saying this since the inception of myspace. Personally, I think that thinking people should get together and petition to have this crap banned.

I wonder if we have any way of verifying the permanent deletion of our info etc after the 90 days?

 

[jodrummersh]

I don't see the quick delete function on there...what the hell?

 

[jodrummersh]

So where exactly were these "recent reports" that you based your article on? And why did you still write the piece when you didn't see the option on Facebook yourself? BAH! Got my hopes up.

I feel so bad knowing that 3 years of my data belongs to facebook.
