I'm not disputing that and I'm not suggesting that deleting/corrupting facebook data is a silver bullet All I am suggesting is that it may frustrate casual attacks on the facebook service, for example, if a rogue employee takes a dump of the user list with the date of birth in it, then you can spoil his fun. If somebody finds a hack to access photos that are in deleted accounts, maybe it won't work for photos that were explicitly deleted. If somebody finds a way to re-enable a deleted account and use it in future, they may not be able to undelete the things already deleted. Regards, Daniel
