How To Delete Your Facebook Profile + Friday Fun
Folks, some time ago I wrote one of my more popular articles on protecting your privacy. It was a How To for removing your name from places like Google, Twitter, and Facebook. Yesterday, friend and fellow tech blogger Rick Robinette posted another resource, and so it is time for an update, I think. Here they are (mine first):
* How To Remove Your Name From Search Engines and Social Networking Sites
“If you are serious about protecting your identity and personal security, you should take actions now to block your personal information from public viewing.” Read more..
* Instructions On How To Delete An Online Account Profile (for over 500 different sites)

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
