I created an account YEARS ago and never used it.
Then, after hearing about the security breaches and the Russian rat-fucking, I went back and tried to delete my account. NO DICE.
They make it almost impossible to leave since they required multiple forms of ID. I was not about to give Fuckerberg any more personal info.
So my account lies dormant. Good.
