Breaking Up With Facebook....have You Ever Tried?


Recommended Posts

Posted

According to journalist Sarah Kessler from FastCompany, leaving Facebook can be a long-winded and difficult process.

After struggling to find the Delete Account option, which she eventually found by searching Google, she was met with photos of a selection of her Facebook friends with an automated message about how much they'd miss her if she left. 

She was then asked to tell Facebook the reasons why she was leaving, which she said was due to privacy concerns, before Facebook tried to persuade her to stay by explaining more about how the site handles private data.

Facebook warned her that by deleting her account she'd lose all of her photos and posts, before trying to convince her to stay by telling her she could deactivate her account for as long as she liked, and then just login to reactivate.

By deactivating, everything on her profile would stay where it is but would become hidden in case she wanted to return to the site.

'Facebook’s hard sell did not stop me from deactivating my account. But three days later, when I wanted to get in touch with an old friend, I reactivated my account like an ex-girlfriend who can't quite commit to a breakup--just as Facebook had designed,' said Kessler.

Kessler claims that Facebook uses four persuasion techniques to make people stay and these include making it complicated, giving people the option to take a break rather than delete it completely, tapping in to personal friendships and connections and trying to solve any problems the user has.

Its an addiction no doubt... but a nice addiction... And FB has a vested interest in high numbers of users or members... The advtizers pay it based on our continued patronage and usage. In 2014 JAN they estimated each person's value to FB in monetary terms to be an average of 6 US$.
