Delete Your Facebook

[@Satan97458]

I deleted mine this year after over a month of not using it. Life feels better without Facebook.

[@logandarklighter]

Never forget this one simple rule - if a social media service is free, then *YOU ARE THE PRODUCT BEING SOLD!!*

[@MrSvlad]

I deleted mine in 2011. Somehow, I’ve survived without it.

[@DBLCreations]

Wooow, how did you do it?

[@DBLCreations]

Walter White, i miss you on facebook :(

[@deanking6105]

They do not let you delete easily nowadays.

[@michaelkopp4313]

Me too

[@nath1606]

MrSvlad I’ve never used it

[@ChaiKarl]

Never got a facebook, thank god!

[@Dweller415]

I deleted Facebook and Twitter two years ago and I’ve never been happier. Social media isn’t a substitute for social interaction.

[@chalise73]

Deleted FB in 2015. Best move I ever made. My business tripled in size as I was no longer wasting time browsing FB, my mental and emotional state was much more positive and now I enjoy that I spend more real time with friends over coffee and dinner instead of online.

[@kaysha]

[@orangehatmusic225]

Mark Zuckerberg stole Facebook and this is what he thinks about all of us. Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don't know why. Zuck: They "trust me" Zuck: Dumb fucks

[@petercallenjr]

Kaysha this is a part of the Bible’s “Beast System”

[@Ghosteriz]

Isn't has already start like 10years ago?

[@kaysha]

Ghosteriz Ooooh yes.

[@Despara5T]

I deleted my Facebook a few years ago, and I was cautious to never add any information that could be used against me.

[@HiFiInsider]

Facebook is the new MySpace. :)

[@sojourner_truth]

Myspace was a little more fun and playful with the top friends list, page personalization and song intro. I think those concepts could be successfully used on other platforms.

[@videoman7659]

Never returned to either

[@incipidsigninsetup]

Hi-Fi Insider it has 2.2 Billion independent users, it is no MySpace. Until there is a capable replacement that a great number of the public leaps onto there is no killing FB. That being said I closed my account last week.

[@camilleonz558]

Then what replaces it?

[@breezyveezy1]

Hi-Fi Insider yep! What’s the new FB, I wonder, that won’t have the same issues?

[@Don-md6wn]

But...but.....what if I go somewhere and do something and I can't tell the world about it? If I hike to a waterfall or the top of a mountain or go to a concert and I don't post a selfie, what was the point of doing it? What is going to happen to the lives of my Facebook "friends" if they don't know about everything I'm doing? How am I going to impose my half baked political opinions on everybody?

[@Throwboy]

I’ve been struggling with keeping it for business reasons but I’ve deleted all their mobile apps after an extremely f**ked up use of Facebook using my iPhone microphone to serve me very specific ads. I appreciate the tips for minimizing what is on my profile. Thanks Rene.

[@mitsu9314]

They don’t actually use your mic to show ads look up a vide about it

[@syn16]

Yeah I even see commercials about what I searched online that I never usually see it’s gotten bad

[@syn16]

But that’s even without Facebook and while I’m on private mode on my phone. They know everything

[@FG-lq4pz]

Throwboy I also am struggling with this... I maintain a few fb and insta accounts. I do not wish to go off the grid as I enjoy human interaction and realize that the mobile phone is a necessity in today's world even if it's just a simple flip phone. I'm in the process of archiving all of the photos that have been posted of me and buy me to my personal Facebook account in the last 10 years along with comments and dates. This is something that has been holding me back from deleting my account as well because I do not want to lose those photos as they are memories that I would like to be able to look back on. I think it would be so much cooler to have them printed up and a nice shiny book and look at them on actual paper instead of a tiny screen.

[@andvari1056]

You’re wrong if you believe your personal data will disappear from Facebook’s databases once you delete your account. The data has already been harvested and it will be used. You must still do it though to prevent them from getting more data from you.

[@jetpipe28]

Over time, the data will become obsolete.

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

There's nothing you can do about the data that's already out there. Once something is on the Internet it's basically impossible to remove it. You can however prevent more data from being added to the pile.

[@KrisPBacon-fv5hm]

Andvari in Europe they have to delete your data if you request it. The EU is very struck about this. The USA is very different though.

[@jeremyp5027]

Andvari correct. On the messenger app on a phone. Open the app. Select a name you chat with. Then in upper right corner you will see i. With a circle around it. Select this. Then scroll down and you will see all photos you have ever sent and you can not delete them. They are not stored on your phone.

[@Re3iRtH]

Pete Burrows Can someone tell me how I can actually delete facebook? Thanks!

[@LifeInSpacePodcast]

This may be the most intelligent video I have seen on KZbin to date, great job on the video. I actually deleted my Facebook account five years ago and never regretted it. Now the truth is coming out!!!

[@waterheaterservices]

The less time I spend on Fight Book, the better life gets.

[@GXPedition460]

Can we sue Facebook because of this?

[@75osama]

Yeah , because its America

[@DeusShaggy]

Never had Facebook nor any other form of Social Media. In fact all but one email address I have is under fake names, as are ALL of the loyalty cards I use. I've always said, "If BIG Brother wants to know about me, he'll have to pull out a pick and shovel to do his data mining, I'm not going to just give it to him."

[@dv9096]

My account got crashed and deleted last year! Eversince, alll my anxieties and nervous breakdowns stopped! Seriously, FB is so mysterious! It felt more like it controlled me. Literally!

[@deleater]

Deleted about 2 days ago, had been using it since 2010. It said 14 days will be required to delete your account.

[@cesspitsid4141]

I stopped using facebook years ago, feel a lot better for it too, no anxiety or stress since.

[@msandersen]

Unless it’s changed, my understanding is that when you ‘delete’ your account, it’s not actually deleted, they still retain all your data, it is just deactivated, removed from Facebook to anyone but Facebook.

[@RonakPatel1]

I've deleted my Facebook and guess what my friends are okay with me calling them straight ! I think we are experiencing end of era. !

[@RickP2012]

Facebook is finished.

[@jeffsmithfpv]

RickP2012 doubt it. Who’s the next runner up to replace Facebook?

[@nickolazcarters]

Twitter

[@jeffsmithfpv]

SSSniper wolve It’s just not structured like Facebook. Facebook is good for businesses and more of the adult world. When I was in high school twitter was alright, but I just don’t see it taking FB’s spot.

[@jeffsmithfpv]

SSSniper wolve if Twitter was going to replace FB, it would have already done so.

[@dalitsomz]

Far from it. In as much as loads of people are angry about this, there are way more who aren't. There are also others that have always believed this to happen. So they have been careful with what they post. All sites that store user data could be prone to the same acts. Apps will ask me if I want to review a restaurant I was at a couple of days back (without me having "checked in". Truth is, this is a norm that I think lots of people are not that bothered having.

[@sojourner_truth]

Delete Your Twitter. I deleted both: one of the most refreshing decisions I made last year.

[@terencetcf]

Pilgrim's Progress you have to delete all your online privacy and live in jungle to maybe have total privacy...

[@dolphin_368]

i gave up on all social media anyways. and people shouldn’t be worried unless they are posting sexual stuff online and addresses. but if you’re using social media for a good cause then u shouldn’t have to worry much.

[@davo1822]

Are you going to delete what'sapp and Instagram too?

[@JonBrowning760]

Who the f*** needs those apps other than the "look at me" generation.

[@Aloewells]

Never used Instagram,watsapp becoming more and more annoying with payments etc.

[@jfphotography69]

[@maxdondada]

Yes! Sheeple

[@mururoa7024]

I never had those to begin with. You want to talk to me? Call me. It stuns some people, but it works. It also showed me who were my REAL friends.

[@MrJay197409]

Like youtube does not do the samething, Instagram, Twitter or any other social media site privacy online is a joke.

[@cesaredecal2230]

that ending tho... you raise important concerns about privacy and then end with cocktails lol

[@am0oma]

Thank you for highlighting that for ppl who still don’t know the big picture

[@markperugini3227]

YOU CAN "DELETE" YOUR DATA...BUT, IT'S STILL THERE...

[@marykelly8408]

Glad I never took one of their surveys. Deleted now.

[@Paxaboll]

Hurt 'em in the pocketbook. It's all they understand.

[@jfphotography69]

Deleted my Facecrap account a while ago.

[@dravalanche1997]

Yes, delete your account if you still have one, but really their servers etc must be destroyed.

[@mururoa7024]

Don't delete your FB account (it's never actually deleted anyway) but change all your data, change your name your preferences your pictures your posts, multiple times. It will scramble the profile they've build of you. And then stop using FB. You don't need it.

[@chespottle5588]

I deleted my Facebook because I could no longer scroll through my newsfeed, it just reached an end.

[@stevechesney2498]

I recently deleted Facebook. I’ve been saying social media is going to destroy civilization. I have been clean for about a week now. I have to say it feels good.

[@Shimmed]

Leo Laporte deleted his account for less than a week after vowing that this time he really wasn’t going to reactivate it.

[@kingraiderr]

Facebook ruined my life .

[@randhuff630]

What if, one day you post on your Facebook that you are taking a ski vacation in Colorado and staying in a nice log cabin. You tell your friends that it's a gift from your inlaws. Seven months later you do your taxes for the IRS and find yourself punished for not declaring the value of a Colorado vacation on your income. Folks, we're getting closer and closer to that day. It's just a matter of a little more technological advancement.

[@Jf-reviews]

Every time I hit that thumbs up, every time I subscribe and every time I comment it is just more data for Google to exploit :)

[@Aloewells]

Just only watch and sometimes do unnecessary and wrong searches, click randomly ie give wrong data. It is as good as no data. Turn off GPS.

[@darylallen2485]

jamie_f I just built out your psychographic profile based on your youtube use.

[@Jf-reviews]

Aloewells sounds like a lot or work. Think I’ll just try and avoided / not click the adverts aimed at me and make educated decisions instead of the codswallop you see.

[@LivingOver60]

You think KZbin is any different?

[@ir0n2541]

They waited 2 years becuase they didn't have a legal obligation to announce it, and i find it suspect that they only announced it a month before the EU's GDPR which kicks in end of May 2018 and applies very strict rules and processes to be followed when personal data is breached. not to mention the huge fines.

[@Distortz]

I always hated Facebook anyways

[@schohan2]

I deleted Facebook years ago, I don't use Whatsapp as its a mini Facebook.

[@SteveDentonClassics]

Deleted Facebook start of January 2019, best thing I've ever done on the internet

[@kavemanbites]

just deleted, thanks for the nudge

[@dapper_gent]

every 2 years FB sends you an email asking you to reactivate it. they don't delete it.

[@JamJim]

bye facebook?

[@glynemartin]

...hello Myspace??...

[@sc-ek6qz]

Possibly...

[@schrodingerscat3912]

FB is creepy

[@michaelschaller7572]

I have always known this social media bs was bs long time ago

[@Dknightxs]

Stopped using fb in 2015.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

Facebook has become more and more depressing over time and I am questioning it's role in my life and wondering if it is a good thing or a detriment in my life

[@qncsc]

this will never end ... because there is no internal intuitive cost assessor ask yourself, how your data extracted has impacted your day today? ask yourself, how has data extracted, during this year, impacted your day-to-day living? outside, "identity theft (and such)" ... most will have no real, credible, discernible ... measurable answer. we live in a world where ... i work one hour and i am compensated "x dollars." the extraction of personal data ... is an unknown, unverifiable cost. so there might be revulsion against such practices. but actions will never be that strong as the known conclusive costs allocated to each of us personally is not known (unknowable). hence, the best predictor ... these so-called abhorrent practices will go on.

[@TheRoybert]

You have to go to activity log and remove entries or reactions and hide friends from timelines individually month by month from the beginning of your time on FB. To delete your account is insufficient. Even on the other end of your posts, they too must delete or the record remains. This is how bots delve into other accounts not targeted but connected by interactive comments. I am up to 2013 in deletions. It is tedious, but it is better done than not.

[@JonBuenrostro]

So why is it so bad for companies to know my data? I have nothing really to hide

[@camilleonz558]

I love how everyone is shocked over this information, this has been happening for a long time and facebook was always very loose about securing that data because that is how they make their money. People don’t know about it because it’s all invisible to them, but I’m glad we’re all finally talking about this issue.

[@hidde1626]

I deleted my Facebook 2 weeks before this got published and I am pretty happy

[@HaloCapella]

My facebook locked me out last year because I wouldn't comply to their demands. I'm sure they're using my data for any means. I just left it as that and moved on.

[@Hidinginthetreeline]

I walked away from FB months ago, and I couldn’t be happier.

[@jeremyp5027]

On FB messenger app. On the phone. Open app. Select any name you chat with. In upper right corner you will see. i. With a circle around it. Select it. Then scroll down and you will see all the photos you thought you had deleted off your phone. And they can't be deleted. They are not stored on your phone.

[@williamwilley1423]

Just deleted mine and honestly I dont feel the negative energy that surrounds social media anymore.

[@MsUtuber2]

AAahhhh!!!! Delete Your FB account because they know everything about you. Then order booze online so the alcohol companies know what you like to drink. Hmmmm....what's wrong with this picture?

[@Damien_Bathory]

I deleted mine don't regret it enjoying life better without it

[@mk69p99]

Going through 1 by 1 deleting everything is a pain.

[@alicewonderland7218]

Those Apps tell you they are taking your profile and also access to your friends' profiles. I usually backed out and did not give permission but I knew they had mine because my friend had shared their results, which told me they had already given permission to access my profile because, obviously, I was on THEIR friends' list.

[@paulgthawkins]

Small businesses have mostly given up on having their own website and just use Facebook.

Ha ha ha....I knew something was up back when Fakebook first came out and I tried to warn people about it. They laughed at me and made it seem like I was the one who was a nutcase. I'm sure they now enjoy every aspect of their lives being sold like bootleg CD's on the street corner. :)

[@JohnKostuch]

Well done. Thanks. One of the unsung positives of Fb is how they took over forum/PHPbb account management. I am a Land Rover enthusiasts and many of the Land Rover forums have moved to Fb. In fact, the community has grown and connections increased too. Some of us have discussed spinning-up our forums again (not that they ever really went away). It is mainly for these connections that I am holding off on deleting my account. It is very important to have this conversation too.

[@ALC77787]

I would love to Rene but I can't because many businesses are down, accommodation and house-hunting is on there and it is the most popular common way to gain fans as an artist and spread awareness of your talent as an artist.

[@LeachyPeachy99]

Really great video man. I just subscribed to your channel. What is worse, in your opinion, Google (KZbin) or Facebook? They both have access to an enormous amount of our personal data. Would be curious to see a video on that. Or you can just respond in the comments. Again, great job. 👍🏾

[@organisten]

The problem is the third party apps which use the Facebook platform for log in. If you delete your Facebook, BEFORE you end your subscription to one of these (Spotify is an example), then you won't even be able to access your Spotify account to cancel it - and you will have problems stopping money going from your credit card.

Dude u gotta to be kidding me,u think that cocktail website is more dangerous than facebook,

[@HHH906]

At 1:01 you're actually very much mistaken. It was one quiz app called "This Is Your Digital Life" through which the data "leak" occurred, not "any survey" as you assert. It wasn't Facebook that leaked the data, it was actually an app developer who, like many others, had access to the data of users of that app. He just chose to sell it. Additionally, the "50 million figure" you keep mentioning is just a projection Facebook came up with based on the maximum number of friends those 270,000 could have had at the time of using the app. It could be less and it could be more.

[@eclipsedreaper]

explain why you say to do this yet immediately give an ad for a paid subscription to deliver to your door.

I lost friends who I thght were good by posting or commenting on a post or liking a post, i lost friends by posting my opinion, i lost respect for family and friends by their posts on politics, racism, and ignorance. I had people publically cuss me out on FB. Im done with it and i am very happy.
