You say that like it's a bad thing.

You can click "Delete", but that is no guarantee that the information you wanted to delete is actually gone. I discovered years old information that they kept of an old account of mine after I had "deleted" it. Everything you type on that website is recorded and will stay on their servers for who knows how long, a few years at the least as was my case.

I like Facebook and the ability to connect with people other than talking face to face or on the phone, as I am a person who doesn't enjoying talking on the phone. But stuff like this makes me seriously consider deleting my account. I convinced myself to settle for no personal info other than my email being made available on my profile. At least I can click the spam button for unwanted contact in that department. No such luck in the physical address or cell phone # department.
