My10, I got tons of hits on that message when I did a Google search. The vast majority had to do with Facebook, but there were others as well. The general consensus is that it is a problem with the website you are trying to reach.

Such things have had my finger hovering over the "delete my account" option several times. Couple that with the most recent assaults on our privacy by Facebook and it's getting close... It's just such a great way to stay in touch with my family who are 600 - 800 miles away. Grrrr.......

That is until your information starts showing up on 3rd party websites and your photo starts showing up in your e-mails to other Facebook members - all without your permission. I thought I had mine locked down tight, but then Winfrey said an e-mail from me had my photo in it along with a link to Facebook. I was infuriated...
This latest assault on my internet privacy and security is just about too much...

What I also find infuriating is how hard it is to set your privacy settings on facebook. it takes a lot of digging and clicking and I still don't know if I have it right. They could make it a lot simpler!
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Gibran

A good article by Jason Perlow here... Contemplating Facebook Hari-Kari And a lovely chart of the myriad of privacy settings purposely made to be so difficult, most people give up on trying to keep their information from being shared with 3rd party sites etc. Bewildering Facebook Settings But I agree with Hawka... it is such a good way to keep up with distant family and friends... not to mention spying on the kids!

Yes, as Jenny notes, it's not easy to permanently delete a Facebook page. Jason Perlow also goes through the steps, but the Wiki link is more straightforward.
I don't mean to belabor this subject in this error message post, but I heard a horror story on NPR on my way home from town a few minutes ago. A psychologist said that a patient of hers had received an invitation to friend a long list of people. It purported to be from the psychologist even though she does not have a Facebook page and never has had one. About half of the list were patients of the psychologist and half were her family members. The patient was livid that the Dr. had violated doctor/patient confidentiality. The psychologist knew nothing about it. The panel on the discussion said Facebook had probably mined her name mentioned by someone and cross-referenced it and somehow had come up with this list and suggested friends to several people.
THIS is what Facebook is doing, so I would suggest that no one should take all this privacy stuff lightly.

I have no problems with Facebook, except for uploading pictures via phone with the 'PICTAVISION APP', they seem to throw your pictures every where! I am or was new to FACEBOOK,it took me awhile to learn it, and I never send inportant info to a friend from FACEBOOK, I get that person's e-mail to send addresses or phone number's! On errors, I have been having problems opening my AOL Mail, but I think it is on thier side, that is the probem,because my other e-mail websites are fine! I fould my best friend in High School thier!(facebook) but I give as little info to them as I can!
