I've never had a facebook account. My online identity is fine thank you.

How's your shadow profile?

I'm almost certain facebook has no "shadow profile" of me. Can't say the same about google though whose reach stretches far deeper and wider than facebook's. And that's not a facebook problem. That's a internet/social media problem. I'm more worried about google's "shadow profile" or my ISP's "shadow profile" or my financial insitution's "shadow profile" than facebook's. Also, I don't see how "breaking up" facebook would do anything to solve the privacy problems.
