It's funny you should bring this up again because I was thinking the same just this morning. I've been thinking more and more about my data, who has it and what they intend to do with it and am considering closing my Facebook account. I don't actually use it for anything, and rarely update it, it serves only for "friends" to send me light advertising and poses difficult decisions where ex bosses add me.

With regards to the other forum that makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable because it has changed ownership since I join, physically moved server and new admins have been given access to my private data such as email address and I didn't agree that they could do this with my IP at any point. I'm in the situation where "somebody on the internet" has records of my personal email, my ISP, my operating system of choice and webbrowser, my real name, my place of work, the type of car I drive, the names of the people who renovated my house etc etc.

In addition to this I do not have anybody I can contact to address my concerns, nobody is accountable and their admin sent me a rather unpleasant PM stating he will not reply to me again. I don't think they are taking me or my concerns seriously and now I feel a bit foolish for being in this situation. I have tired to contact them privately, to avoid another sit com drama on their site and they are ignoring me. I want to resolve things out of the limelight and amicably but AGAIN they are incapable of just being straightforward and honest.
