How to disappear from the internet

It's really easy to get your Facebook account permanent and irrevocably deleted :

just start spamming some links on public pages. after you do this a dozen times, Facebook will disable or shadow-ban your account , rendering it completely invisible for everyone but you, esp if you do it really quickly and the links are obvious spam

If I am still able to see it afterwards, I think we have different definitions of "permanent and irrevocably deleted".

How does your account being shadowbanned or disabled matter if Facebook themselves still has your complete account, and will readily sell access to aggregated info which includes all information associated with your account?

Protip:before you start, make sure to change your name to nudeCelebsForFree.

I can't check, but does FB even allow name changes anymore?

This sounds too easy, so I'm gonna have to ask: does that actually work? Have you done this?
