…“So how do you delete your Facebook account? Even that is pretty remarkable! According to the #1 search result for the query, which is an unofficial Facebook group page written by someone else, you have to visit http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=delete_account. On that page you’ll find a delete button. According to said unofficial group, you’ll still be able to bring your account back if you log-in within the next two weeks! You won’t show up in search results though, neither in Facebook nor in Google. It’s as if they can’t see you anymore.

“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself-anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face…; was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime…” — George Orwell, 1984″
