It\u2019s the Facebook part of the Meta group\u2014which also includes WhatsApp and Instagram\u2014that is considered particularly toxic. It\u2019s no wonder the Meta brand was created, when the Facebook name is associated with the Cambridge Analytica scandal, numerous hacks, outages and privacy infringements, and the recent Facebook Papers to name a few.<br \/>Everyone knows that Facebook invades privacy\u2014the battle between the social network and Apple has made it clear how Facebook relentlessly tracks you across other apps and services.

When Facebook and Instagram were down, some people realized that life could be better without these potentially toxic interactions.<br \/>So you\u2019ve decided to delete Facebook, or you want to explore quitting your account. I always advise people to at least delete the app from their phones to reduce the amount of data that can be collected\u2014and that means Instagram too.<br \/>If you do want to quit altogether, deactivating your account isn\u2019t good enough\u2014it\u2019s pretty pointless in fact as it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/media\/why-facebook-keeps-collecting-peoples-data-and-building-their-profiles-even-when-their-accounts-are-deactivated\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/digiday.com\/media\/why-facebook-keeps-collecting-peoples-data-and-building-their-profiles-even-when-their-accounts-are-deactivated\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/digiday.com\/media\/why-facebook-keeps-collecting-peoples-data-and-building-their-profiles-even-when-their-accounts-are-deactivated\/\" aria-label=\"doesn\u2019t stop\">doesn\u2019t stop<\/a>&nbsp;data collection and gives Facebook the chance to keep you in its claws.&nbsp;<br \/>There are a couple of things to consider first. You might want to download your data such as photos you want to keep. You will also need to reset the usernames and passwords on any accounts you use Facebook to log into.<br \/>After that, deleting Facebook is simple, just do the following:&nbsp;<br \/>Go to Settings &amp; Privacy &gt; Settings &gt; Your Facebook Information &gt; Deactivation and Deletion &gt; Permanently Delete Account &gt; Delete Account.<br \/>On your phone go to Settings &amp; Privacy &gt; Settings &gt; Account Ownership and Control &gt; Deactivation and Deletion &gt; Delete Account.&nbsp;<br \/>Also delete the Facebook app and revoke all permissions.<br \/>And there you have it\u2014you can delete Facebook now in a few simple steps and live happily in the knowledge that you have finally quit the social network for good.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kateoflahertyuk\/2021\/11\/06\/delete-facebook-how-to-quit-your-facebook-account-now\/\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seemed like Facebook was doing something good, but the social network has just given its 2 billion users another reason to delete their accounts.
