This afternoon, I archived and downloaded all my FB content, and deleted by account.
They give you 14 days to have "withdrawal remorse" and reactivate the account. After that, your account is permanently gone, but your content shared with others can linger for as much as 90 days.
With businesses asking for employees' and applicants' FB accounts and to be "friended" so they can check you out, it's just better to close my account unless I become a politician or start a business.
As for suspensions, I had a 1 day "jail sentence" once. They allowed me to log in again after a day, but for viewing only. They took 2 more days to reactivate posting privileges. Never told what was reported or who did it, but I know exactly who it was. A liberal idiot blasted me with foul language and insults. Then the ONE post I used a bad word calling him an "ass" he reported. Really? Is FB censoring words TV allows?
I was likely lured into a trap so I'd post something he could report as "harassment" or some nonsense.
After seeing all the data mining and inappropriate (illegal?) selling/sharing of that data with candidates and companies, I'm opting out.
Now I have time to write that novel I've been wanting to get around to.
