It's important to note that there's a difference between deleting your Facebook account and deactivating it. Deactivating your Facebook account temporarily freezes it... But that does nothing to prevent the company from tracking your online activity.
1. Delete the Facebook app from your phone and tablet
...
To fully separate from Facebook, deleting your account is the only answer. Deleting it also severs ties to Facebook Messenger, the platform's chat app. (If you want to also get rid of Instagram and WhatsApp, which are Facebook properties, you'll have to do that separately.)
3. Disconnect your Facebook account from other apps and logins
Third-party developers such as Spotify and DoorDash have long offered the option of using your Facebook account as a way to sign up and log in to their services. It's convenient because it keeps you from having to remember yet another password. That is, until you don't have a Facebook account anymore. 4. Finally, it's time to delete your Facebook account
Facebook will give you a list of tasks and things to consider before deleting your account. For example, you'll be advised to download all of your information, or if you're the sole admin of a Facebook Page, you'll be asked to grant another account admin privileges. Otherwise, the page will be deleted alongside your account.
Click Delete Account, enter your password and click Continue. Finally, click Delete Account again and you're done.

I did delete my original “legit” FascistBook account about a year ago (got tired of going to FB “jail” multiple times).
But I did open a bogus account with my alter-ego just to keep a presence and to torment leftists with sound logic in various forums.
Because I never had one to begin with. 🙂
My android will not allow me to delete - only disable.
I will keep my six Facebook accounts with fake names active — just so some dumbass advertisers keep paying a lot of money to advertise to people who don’t exist.
Nobody deletes anything, especially in Silicon Valley. If they say they will, they are lying.
I deactivated it once 12 years ago, I can do it again
- never had an app
- account disused so long ago I don’t recall which email was used, and certainly one that’s dead/closed/inaccessible
- Similarly the machine last used for FB is long since gone, CPU trashed and was either a W98 or XP build
- IP and physical location changed an unknown number of times since then
So .. if I attempted to do a delete on the account, all I’d managed to do is allow them to synch it up with current emails, IPs, locations and machines — in short doxxing myself to them.
lots of good information in that article. Thanks for posting.
1) To do what this article recommends I would have to log on and they won’t let me.
2) Why would I believe that they would delete everything? Facebook is run by evil liars.
I deleted my Facebook account one year ago on November 13th.
Not only have I not missed it I feel less anxious and more relaxed.
Which is consistent with what some of the whistleblowers are saying.
On my T-Mobile Samsung S10 I was able to uninstall Instagram but only disable Facebook. I bet they are still tracking.
Done! Like 4 or 5 yrs ago.
It ain't the advertising. It is the data collection. His system has nearly perfected that business.
What are they doing with all of that data? Why is it so valuable?
It all makes me think on it. Why is the data worth money? This is to me a conundrum.
Morons love to keep sticking their fingers into a pretty orange-blue flame...
I’ve had 2 and the booster, but if they tell us we’re gonna need a 4th, then they can KMA…..
“...but if they tell us we’re gonna need a 4th...”
That’s just a matter of time in afraid my friend.
Unfortunately I suspect they want people on a covid shot hamster wheel.
I’m already hearing about trying to mandate flu shots as well.
Say WHAT! 😲 No facebook no job?
