Consider anything about you that appears on the internet to be the electronic equivalent of a tattoo. You may love it at first, but you may never make it go away completely if you come to dislike it.

You should have the option. Storing your data for you after you leave is nice when you ask them to. When you don't, it's pushing the lines of what I believed I was agreeing to when I first signed up. Sometimes it only takes something small to make something good seem to lack integrity.

I know several people who first closed their account but then changed their mind and reactivated it. I am sure they appreciated having all of their info the same as when they left it.

So I think that the data should be preserved for a period of say 6 months after deactivation of the account just in case people decide to come back to Facebook.

Absolutely, I find it absurd that Facebook are allowed to say that deletion of your personal data is down to you manually deleting every element.

More pressure needs to be applied for them to change this ASAP.
