techmanPut 'em up Facebook...I'm still not convinced.

"If you ever want to get your account back, just log in as normal with your same e-mail and password."
No pomp and circumstance, no "sorry to see you go, we'll miss you", no, "there's no turning back now, it's about to be alllll over if you hit that button!"
Then, I set an account up for my poor mother-in-law who now couldn't see pictures of her other children's kids, her grandbabies, living in the States because I took a stand. And when I tried to link her account to my e-mail (she doesn't even know how to use a computer, let alone e-mail) it said, "that e-mail is linked to an existing Facebook account".
Well, it shouldn't be, considering I DEACTIVATED it. Sheesh, it's like telling your drug dealer that you are going to rehab and they give you a going away bag of dope. They don't really believe you're done. But you know what? I'll stay away just on pricipal alone now. Just because Facebook doesn't think I can.
Either way, as I stated in my previous post, Facebook, or Mark Zuckerberg more precisely could take down the ridiculous page dubbing Raoul Moat a "legend" (see the Electronic Trading directive below) but the math as to who they would piss off most didn't lean in their favor. If I could find this bit of information, are you expecting me to believe Facebook didn't know about it?
Hmph. And I'm just a simple blogger.

The directive gives providers of sites such as Facebook immunity from prosecution only if they act promptly to remove offending articles from the web when a complaint is made."
