Facebook Lies
I've tried (and failed) to delete my Facebook a couple times in the past, so this most recent go, when I quit using Facebook, I just quit using Facebook -- I uninstalled the apps from my phone, and mapped 'facebook.com' to localhost in my /etc/hosts files.<p>The result was... amusing.  Facebook kept emailing me the "Hey, did you see what so and so posted?" emails, knowing full well that I didn't see them.  But then, after that, I started getting weekly reminders that "You haven't updated your timeline in a week".  Facebook, ever the clingy ex-girlfriend it is, seemed to start amping <i>up</i> the frequency of the emails the more I neglected them, so I started just marking them as spam.<p>Two blissful days went by in which Facebook wasn't a distraction, but then they shifted from email to SMS which, as an Android/Hangouts user, was even more annoying, since now I have to engage in multiple steps to delete.<p>They really, really want me to use their service.
