According to findings the user cannot delete the profile even after their termination. The information remains on the server of Facebook and it admits that there is not full compliance with UK data protection.
Though a statement from the site announces, "We take the concerns of the ICO and our user's privacy very seriously and are committed to working with the ICO to maintain a trusted environment for all Facebook users and ensure compliance with UK law."
In order to fully delete the account it asks for more effort and “log in and delete all profile content".
But are the users eager to delete all the information about them on Facebook? Answer is as follows: "An individual who has deactivated their account might not find themselves motivated enough to delete information that's about them maybe on their wall or other people's site."
2008 could be the year that governments crack down on personal information being disclosed on the web and elsewhere.
