#OpDeleteFB

Mark Zuckerberg... Billionaire founder of Facebook makes his money selling personal info pulled from the users of his free service. Each and every update, both to the desktop and mobile sites are geared not for user friendliness (obviously), but rather for the betterment on data extraction. The extracted data is than sold to advertisers, people search engines, and government agencies, despite privacy settings and personal rights.

Furthermore, the devious web practices add insult to injury as it is nigh impossible for the average end user to actually DELETE their account. Deactivation is purported to be a secure alternative "in case you ever want to come back". Some people are just as addicted to Farmville as others are to heroin.

Zuckerberg's company has even been sued for keeping data archived that was requested to be deleted from their servers. Deactivated accounts are still completely intact, tucked away and ready to be handed off to the highest bidder. The deletion process is long and tedious, and often results in a reactivation of the account when a random website somehow "interacts" with your Facebook profile (which means their is something ON YOUR PC interacting with your browser, collecting data and info - in my world we call these keyloggers and spyware).

#OpDeleteFB is an operation spearheaded by your friendly neighborhood Anonymous members, urging you to extract your data from the Zuckerberg empire and utilize more anonymous and secure means of online social interaction. Whether it be Twitter, IRC, open source VoIP software, or any other means, Just make sure the platform respects your personal rights to privacy enough to not line their pockets with your personal information.

So this December 24th, let's all give Mr. Zuckerberg a Christmas gift he will NEVER forget, and let him know that violating our personal rights to privacy, and secretly selling our data, is NOT a legitimate means of making a living. We shall prevail against even the richest of the greedy, and we shall no longer allow the dissemination of our info. December 24th - delete your Facebook account and set an example for the world.

Freedom without fear, victory without violence, both online and off.
