Unless your friends who use Facebook don't actually upload
photos of
you and don't talk about you much.
I do realize that rarely happens though.
On the subject line, I think doing what was previously
recommended
would be best: personally let friends know, provide contacts
and kill
it off. I heard that Facebook permanently deletes all archived
data
after the account is kept disabled for a while, but I can't
say if that
is true or not.
Actually, knowing Facebook's practices, it probably isn't, but
I am
certain there is a legal way of pressuring them into it if
need be.
No matter what sort of legal pressure could be put on facebook to
delete you from their live data, I do not fathom it legally feasible
to pressure into deleting you from their backups. Even the
technical feasibility of that is extremely low.
So if your concern is more than just facebook - e.g. government
authorities - I think that data will remain collected essentially
forever...
Just a thought to keep in mind, I suppose.
