Alex Pell writes on how Facebook makes it so difficult to resign from its services.

The way out? "To delete your details permanently you must first unearth the anonymous-looking customer service form that is hidden away at tinyurl.com/2xv52v. (...)

To check if this has been done properly either create a fake Facebook account or ask a friend to search for your details a few days later."
