But the Email address does not belong to you or provide a path to you and is live for only 50 minutes, its a website. After that time it gone, dead, into interspace, it has done its job of being a live address and you can receive any verification (from Facebook for instance) on its website for 50 minutes, after which it doesn't exist.

Posted on 06/04/2018 11:14 by NavigateurPlease don't believe that deleting your account at Facebook actually removes your information. It just means that YOU cannot access it. It is still there, as well as all the information that Facebook has gathered on you that you did not know about. It can be accessed by others, such as hackers, and Facebook themselves for whatever purpose they want.
Don't have a Facebook account? That has not stopped them gathering information on you.
The dye is cast!!

You could say the same about Amazon or any of the large and small businesses on line. Even if this CMC site was hacked, ( Not difficult for a professional hacker) think about all the information that's held on individual members within the various servers, which could be sold or otherwise exploited ---------------------- I have always said that every on-line communication is stored on-line somewhere, that's it.. But it's just a case of looking to the future and getting rid of any useless applications that will never again be required.
I like Skype, to contact and speak face to face with family and friends. Those with Apple products can use Facetime.-- I also use Email when communicating with friends, family and commerce. and use forums to discuss related hobbies such as Photography, Sailing, Caravanning, ETC. I have no doubt that personal information will be stored somewhere but I don't really bother about that.
Having no need for the Facebook way of life ---- I just made sure that I Deleted User that from my devices and closed my account.

People must be naive t think that "closed" or whatever they call it stops Facebook and others from accessing your details and selling them on. No wonder Scammers and Hackers are so successful. Dont complain when it happens to you. There have ben plenty of warnings about "big brother" and the might of the internet.

What I dislike about the tracking is it being used to assess your personality type and then assume that you'll be interested in the adverts and worse still filtered news etc. I have never belonged to FB but have no doubt of it's uses to those running it and most other public web sites too.

I do have a facebook account in the name of Alan T. It holds no personal data beyond an image of my face and uses a throw away e-mail addy that is never used for anything else.
I set it up to view images from a friend's holiday. There are no posts on it and I don't accept friends (even those that are friends). I am a member of one closed group that is old work colleagues but rarely post on there
