Read the answers to last week's question: Are you considering deleting or deactivating your Facebook account?

Featured answer:

Posted by Goldcoaster: "Who in his right mind would answer all the questions 'required' to set up a Facebook account with accurate information? Who couldn't figure out that Facebook was selling your info? Facebook is a free service, and if there's one thing that I still remember from Econ 101 nearly 40 years ago it's 'there's no free lunch.' So if I have a Facebook account, it's stealth in order to see the stupid stuff that my clients and opposing parties (and their co-respondents) put out there for the world to 'enjoy.'"
