Instagram Asking For Your Government Issued Photo IDs Now, Too
The instagram TOS debacle some weeks ago was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I recently stopped using Instagram, and requested account deletion from Facebook.<p>Graph search and its creepy implications were then nothing I needed to find personally objectionable anymore.<p>I no longer have to complain about the other sleazy, move-the-goalposts, amoral aspects of Facebook Instagram.<p>This latest one, I have to say, should not be surprising to anybody.<p>DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT if you don't like it. You will still have friends, I promise :-)<p>Before you file for account deletion, you might want to do two things:<p>1) use <a href="http://www.picknzip.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.picknzip.com/</a> to download the pictures of you from other people (I have a couple that I liked that I can use for other profile pics, etc.). (The other photos in my facebook albums that I uploaded myself, I already have elsewhere.)<p>2) associate your facebook account with a yahoo email address. You can download all the contact information of your facebook friends that way (I don't know if this still works, but it did last year)<p>This is, AFAIK, the only way to export your facebook friends' data<p>3) go to your full friends list, scroll down until the infinite scrolling loads the whole list. copy and paste this in an email to yourself.<p>These three steps should ensure that you don't "lose" any data about your friends on facebook, and will allow you to email them later.
