Saying you'll delete your Facebook account is one thing. Doing it is another. Especially in the tech industry where if you're not on at least half a dozen anti-social media sites, people will think there's something wrong with you.
Until these people actually delete their accounts, it's all talk.

I for one didn't even know it's possible to delete anything from Facebook.
Disable your account, sure. Hide messages from everyone including your self, no problem. But actually deleting stuff? I highly doubt it. Whatever you place on Facebook will be there for eternity.
Just like /. comments, for that matter. But without that much tracking.
Anyway, not going to delete my account. Too useful to promote my local business, and it helps many people to contact me. If only they realise that it's not the way for last-moment contact (that's why I always give my phone number) as I don't have the app. Never had. Don't want to. Too little use and WAY too much tracking/monitoring.
