This Article from the New York Times tells us something about Facebook that not all of us know. When you join Facebook and you want to delete your information, you cannot delete everything all the way. Facebook stores all your information in it's archives even if you deactivate your account. Facebook says the best thing to do is manually delete everything. This includes all your information, wall posts, pictures, ect. Facebook is one of the few websites that do this. Some other social networking sites that allow you to delete your profile and everything inside of it forever include; Myspace, eHarmony.com, and Friendster. They allow users to erase everything completely, why doesn't Facebook?
I think Facebook needs to fix this somehow. This sounds conspicuous and shouldn't be allowed. They should make it easy for users to erase anything. If, they want to erase all of it then they should be allowed to. People deserve this option and I don't understand why Facebook won't allow a simple way to erase a users information. When I say erase it, I mean totally wipe it out from not only the internet, but also Facebook archives.
