When this came out, I remembered about that whole "you can never really delete your Facebook account, or the data from Facebook's server" situation. The whole NSA thing could also be one of the reasons why you can not.

Oh, and you can't delete your Skype account either. Not even in the UI.

I wonder if deactivating one's FB account triggers a copy to be sent to the NSA? The "Logic" being a panicked user trying to cover tracks.

I wouldn't be shocked if that happened. There was some other leak a while ago saying that FBI thinks you're "suspicious" if you don't have a Facebook account. That's the world we live in now.

I wonder why the quality of posts has gone down so far this week.

Why on earth do you call out Skype? That's true of tons of services.

Skype was another one of the services mentioned. Microsoft was also the first company to start giving data this way to NSA, according to the leak, since 2007, and they signed up Skype to it almost immediately after they bought it.

Oh, well, I wasn't under the impression deleting your account amounts to much of anything anywhere anyway.
