I attempted to delete my Facebook account over the last week and it has been a grueling experience. I tried to change my name to "Delete Me", but that name is on the list of names you're not allowed to change your name to.

I've had to go directly to Facebook "customer support". I was asked what email address I used to create my account. I answered with the email that I was using. I was then told that I couldn't have my account deleted because I needed to respond from one of the email addresses associated with my account. Yet, presumably they had some way to confirm the security question they gave me, regarding the address I used to set up the account. Doesn't that mean that the sign-up email is associated with the account? (Sorry to be repetitive here; it makes me dizzy, too.)

I'm slightly concerned that the reason they won't delete my data is that they've already sold it to Satan.
