wouldnt it be much more clever if you delete all your photos videos and everything before you deacrivate your account ?
otherwise it’s clear that these things will rest in peace on facebook servers. right ?

I think that with the new facebook look, more and more people will want to delete their facebook account.
People just got so used to the old look that they could navigate quickly in between their work day, but now it takes longer and the cannot do facebook things as quickly as before.

Yo les expliqué en inglés y todo el porqué no me gustaba Facebook.

Espero y alguien me responda
