> So what did I learn from my experience with Facebook? Back up your account! You never know if/when they’ll decide to delete you.

Just delete your account. Find a way to share your photos without any of this nonsense: Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Flickr. Not only do you run the risk of Facebook deleting your stuff, but [when I still had an account] it was was a dreadful UX for exploring photos. Use products built for photos if you want to get the most out of your photos.

Yes. Thankfully I've never felt the inclination to join Facebook and reading stories like this just makes me angry at Facebook and at people for making them so powerful.

I get the idea that you need a more serious back up for your personal stuff. But what's wrong with using FB to share photos with friends? FB takes down your account? No problem, you upload your photos from an external HDD to other sites.
