I read the information on Facebook’s help page about deleting my account. (It’s the top Help search). There is a link in that page which takes you to another page which explains the deletion process. I emailed Facebook.

Hi,
I have a Facebook account.

Does that actually remove all information from your servers?

And I just got a reply that had been copied from the page I was looking at there. It is totally obvious where I was, that I had read enough to find that link and I asked a very specific question. But Jordie at Facebook either (1) cannot read that sentence of mine or (2) is having a bad day and couldn’t be bothered to find the answer or (3) is not allowed to say.
As I blogged yesterday I don’t actually give a feck if they keep it but at the very least I’d expect an actual answer from an actual person.
