How to Remove Facebook
Facebook has been dragged into scandal abuse of personal data users. The news that blows, Facebook user data leaked unscrupulous and used for political interests in the United States Presidential Election.
This scandal to make one of the founders of WhatsApp, Brian Acton was furious. In fact, he invites internet users to immediately delete Facebook. In its post, quoted Wednesday, March 21, 2018, Acton includes a #deletefacebook.
By the way of removing Facebook, there are stages to be done. The goal is that your data is safe and can be stored, not lost along with your decision to delete a Facebook account.
1, Login
The first thing to do is definitely you have to log in to the Facebook account.
2, Secure the data
The removal process is a permanent thing to do. This means it can not be undone or you can no longer find the account. Therefore, you should take the first data in it, including status, notes, videos, and photos.
To download your Facebook data, go to General Account Settings. At the bottom, it says 'Download a copy of Your Facebook Data'.
3, Hidden account deletion form
Social media will not be easy to release members. Therefore Facebook tries to keep the account deletion form from its members. Indeed the form is on the help page and must be clicked many times. But you can access it here.
4, Confirm
Like a credit card agent that will block card closure, Facebook will also make you rethink to delete your account. To permanently delete it, you are prompted to enter the password again and write down the CAPTCHA code listed, then click OK.
5, Opportunity 2 weeks
Clicking OK is not the last process. Facebook will again make you rethink to delete your account. A notification will appear containing,
Your account has been deactivated from the site and will be permanently deleted within 14 days. If you log into your account within the next 14 days, you will have the option to cancel your request.
Well, you are given a chance to change your mind for two weeks. If you decide to cancel your account deletion forever, it's easy. With just one login to your Facebook account.
Essentially, to delete an account, you will be given layers of stages. But to get back your account, only one-time login.
Keep in mind, permanent delete should be done simultaneously by deleting existing data. But if you do not intend to delete the account, it's good just to deactivate.
