What if someone knew your password and requested it to be deleted? Wouldn't you be "Why can't they just not delete it after a period of days?"?

Ah, the old security vs freedom debate.

I would know whom to blame if I had used a weak password that got cracked in order to delete my account. And I think you should expect the same from every reasonable adult.

But yeah, FB should add a stronger auth for that dialog - more than a password and a captcha field.

FYI: Facebook is not primarily populated by reasonable adults.

Can minors legally accept a contract like the Facebook TOS in the US? (Real question, I'm not an US citizen and not a lawyer).
I think the emphasis was on "reasonable"

You think all the reasonable adults understand strong passwords?
