2008 fuga da Facebook

Ciurlano nel manico, questi signori di Facebook. Dopo aver scritto e riscritto, chiedendo loro di cancellare ogni traccia del mio vecchio account in seguito alla mia fuga dal social network, ecco cosa mi hanno risposto:

Hi Giuseppe,

If you deactivate your account, your profile and all information associated with it are immediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users.  What this means is that you effectively disappear from the Facebook service.  However, we do save your profile information (friends, photos, interests, etc.), so if you want to reactivate at some point, your account will look just the way it did when you deactivated.  Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and expect their information to be there when they return to the service.  You can deactivate your account through the “Deactivate Account” link on the Account page.

If you do not think you will use Facebook again and you would like to delete your account, you can do this yourself by taking the following steps:

1. Log in to your Facebook account.

2. Visit the Security section of the Help Center by following this link:

3. Click the “I want to permanently delete my account” link toward the bottom of the page.

Please keep in mind that once your account is deleted, you will not be able to reactivate the account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added.

Thanks for contacting Facebook,

Il fatto è, caro Iwan , è che prima di andar via ho cercato a lungo il link “I want to permanently delete my account” e non l’ho trovato. Strano, no? Adesso, per fare questa operazione, bisognerebbe tornare in Facebook, sia pure per qualche minuto. Ho provato, ma – che strano! – la mia vecchia password non funziona….puzza di marcio. Mi chiedo cosa aspetta il Garante per la Privacy ad intervenire.
