The issue is that even if you delete your facebook account, its technically not deleted by FB, just "marked" as deleted.

Your employer may not have the power to access those "deleted" records, but there are parties out their that do have access, i.e. Governments and such

And if they do want it, there's probably a damn good reason anyways.

Given some of the silliness engaged by the government (e.g. placing a GPS tracker on a Muslim Redditor's car, supposedly because of a comment on Reddit), I don't think we can really take that statement as correct. :-)
