Facebook doesn’t make it easy to delete your account – Here’s How to do it
Please also read the following from Mike Murphy
on Quartz Media LLC:
If you’ve been on Facebook for a while, you’ve probably installed games or given sites permission to log into your Facebook account. You may even use Facebook to log into services like Spotify, Netflix, or Tinder.
But if you’ve been following the news around Cambridge Analytica, the data consultancy firm hired by the Donald Trump campaign for the 2016 US election that harvested the data of up to 50 million Facebook users without their permission through data collected from third-party apps, you may want to know how to make sure that something similar isn’t happening to you.
Here’s what you need to do

This is a very informative article. I had 32 apps that had access to my Facebook content. Some of them I didn’t even recognize. I never login to anything using my Facebook account.

But what about WordPress and Pinterest, LinkedIn…where my blog is automatically posted? Should I delete those too?

Good question, Elle – possibly not – especially if you use their apps rather than going to them on your computer/tablet/phone/device 😎
