How To Delete Your Facebook

I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago, and I'm glad I did. I had my reasons, mostly because the saying, "Ignorance is bliss" totally applied to me then. I don't miss it, to me it was such a time waster and do I really want to know or care what my 8th grade "friend" is up to now? No. Now I'm not trying to be a Scrooge about this, Facebook is extremely useful to a lot of people. To many people,  Facebook is the internet and that is where the problem lies. If you tell someone that Facebook has failed to live up to its privacy policy, they most likely wouldn't care, I think what you post on the internet, regardless of how much Facebook says is private, consider it public, that goes with anything on the internet, not just Facebook. The bigger issue is, Facebook is actively retrograding the internet. Facebook is the new AOL. A big company with over 400 million users that is openly making a power grab, its like if you want to play on the internet you have to join Facebook. Really? What ever happened to the open internet? Facebook is retrograding the internet, it's like putting training wheels on your bike again. Do you want that?
