Face/Off

You are nearing the door, but as you reach it you see Facebook has beaten you there. He bars your clean exit, and slowly, he locks. "You can never leave."

The New York Times explains how nearly impossible it is to fully remove yourself from Facebook. "While the Web site offers users the option to deactivate their accounts, Facebook servers keep copies of the information in those accounts indefinitely."

Dear friends who social network, please take heed.

Facebook, she scares me.
