If they actually will "delete your life" instead of keeping and mining it I wonder if messing with the "Facebook police" might not become an acceptable roundabout way of effectively wiping the online record clean for people who'd care to.

Similar to the "nuclear option" - post as much racist / homophobic / misogynistic hate speech and fetish porn as possible while adding as many strangers as you can.

A friend mentioned this as an option back at the beginning of the "you can't delete - only disable your account" change a few years ago when Facebook made you go through a click maze and a waiting period before terminating your account.

Idiotic, but illustrative of how frustrating Facebook's polices can be.
