I think we all get that everyone's "stuff" is out there, somewhere, for scraping, collecting, etc etc etc... but facebook is a whole new game... I dont like what MZ is doing from time to time and so I have a friend list that is currently only 8 people long (down from a hundred or so a couple of years ago). I've also used an android prog called exfoliate to get rid of most of my posts (cant help stuff posted on walls of people I have unfriended already)... I understand that MZ needs to make money to keep maintaining facebook as a free service, but be damned if my personal stuff is going to be available to the fb demon. At least, not if I can help it. I've no doubt a new anti-privacy glitch will be introduced to the fb system at some time, but by then I will likely be gone. I actually had three accounts on fb. In retrospect, I kept the wrong one... the one which is really me. I shan't make a new one though, unless I get to hankering after the games. Which at this point seems highly unlikely. I'd like to keep fish wrangling but basically I've had it with fb, entirely. Enter Google Plus I chose to reduce my involvement at facebook to an utter minimum.
