You know the padlock privacy icon that used to be at the top of your Facebook page? Well, it's gone. No more option to close an account. Swell.

Wait until they require ID from you. You have to send them a photo ID (and of course your personal info along with it).

I isn’t enforced regularly but with what happened last week it would not surprise me if they start enforcing it for all new accounts.

I think I’m the only person who doesn’t have a Facebook account.

No you're not and it's a badge I wear with pride.

Appears you must request to have your account deleted...and then it takes up to 90 days.

"If you don't think you'll use Facebook again, you can request to have your account permanently deleted. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to reactivate your account or retrieve anything you've added. Before you do this, you may want to download a copy of your info from Facebook. Then, if you'd like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log into your account and let us know.

The deletion process begins 14 days after you submit your request. During this time, your account is in a deactivated state and you can choose to cancel your account deletion."

How many other people here under 45 don’t have a Facebook account?

I just deleted it. It was confusing, and I’m not sure it is gone for good, but when I selected the facebook icon it required me to install an update, so I didn’t.

Just post pro-Trump, anti-Hillary messages, pro-freedom and Zuckerberg will delete your account without the need for a “delete” button.

Just trash FB on your page and they’ll do it for you.

They often throw you curve balls from the get go. I swear it's to destabilize you. Not unlike a huge, early, red flag that a future partner is going to be abusive and screw with you later on.

The warning signs were there for me from the get go. And since I had to use it for promoting my business as an artist, it played all sorts of deceptive games to keep me paying when I thought I had not set it up to do so. Then you would spend money to build something professionally and they'd pull the rug out from under you and all your investment turned to dust pretty much.

They are very tricky and deceptive (and that is being kind as criminal is more fitting.)

User beware. I barely use them and only update anything on my site when I have a public event. It's a great tool to locally inform and attract people to events. But otherwise I'd delete.

I have an Android tablet.

What I did was take all the icons I don’t use and don’t want to see on my screen and created a folder to put them all in, so that they cannot escape.................

Log on with PC (or full browser...not mobile).

Did you click down arrow (on the right side)?

Choose settings.

Then on left “Your facebook info...”
