"Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook, regardless of your" privacy "settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you 'delete' your account, all your personal information remains on Facebook and can be recovered at any time, "the group wrote. "Changing the privacy settings for your Facebook account more" private "is a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family."
The date November 5 is Guy Fawkes Day when Britain commemorates Fawkes and his attempt to destroy British House of Lords in 1605. Fawkes has become a symbol activists and those who resist authority.
