How to Disappear from Facebook and Twitter

Even more interesting than the suicide-site itself is the panic-response from Facebook. A C&D with the most laughable justification ever, Quote:

Facebook demanded that they "cease this activity immediately," citing a violation of users' privacy.

If Facebook is concerned about my privacy then why do they C&D a site that helps me to remove my personal data from the public web?

Major kudos to the suicidemachine makers for provoking Facebook and similar sites to reveal their true face for a moment.

That's not their justification.

You can see the actual Cease-and-Desist on their website http://suicidemachine.org/

They are being told to cease-and-desist:

  - Soliciting users' Facebook login information
  - Accessing a Facebook account belonging to someone else
  - Collecting Facebook users' content or information using
    automated means such as scripts or scrapers without 
    Facebook's permission

Can anyone find that link regarding Facebook using someone's profile picture at a presentation without her permission?
