    This is very interesting. Is anyone actually using it, though?

      Watch_dogs is getting more and more real every day.

      I only use my Facebook account for messenger at this point, but this is kind of pushing me to deleting my account.

        You mean having Facebook pretend it’s deleted your account? :)

        But yeah, go for it. It’s always a good idea to cut yourself off from Facebook (and/or Google, etc)

          Exactly. They were keeping them last time I saw that investigated. The faces probably remain in their databases, too. Got all kinds of surveillance and AI training initiatives that could use a bunch of clear faces tied to specific accounts. On top of any security benefits it might have.
