After recent news of Facebook updating their Terms of Use to make all content posted on the web site theirs, and a follow up of removing the updated Terms of Use, and reverting back to the original put a lot of Facebook users contemplating deleting their Facebook account.
Facebook has updated their site with a caution warning and apology about the recent change of Terms of Use when attempting to deactivate or delete your account.
The message reads:
Are you deleting because you are concerned about Facebook"s Terms of Service? This was a mistake that we have now corrected. You own the information you put on Facebook and you control what happens to it. We are sorry for the confusion.
Users deleting their Facebook account will permanently lose all their content and be unable to restore their account.
