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.Graph search and its creepy implications were then nothing I needed to find personally objectionable anymore.I no longer have to complain about the other sleazy, move-the-goalposts, amoral aspects of Facebook Instagram.This latest one, I have to say, should not be surprising to anybody.DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT if you don't like it. You will still have friends, I promise :-)Before you file for account deletion, you might want to do two things:1) use http://www.picknzip.com/ 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.)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)This is, AFAIK, the only way to export your facebook friends' data3) 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.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.
