How to Delete your Facebook Account Permanently?

May 21, 2016 by computerera


facebook account delete

While creating a new Facebook account, everyone will have lots of enthusiasm, zeal to explore new friends and strengthen relationships. But over the period, many people lose interest on Facebook because of various reasons. Some face bitter experiences, some may lose productivity, sometimes other social and emotional reasons play a crucial role in account closure thoughts on Facebook.

Facebook didn’t provide a direct option to close the Account permanently. By digging into the various Facebook settings, the last option available to keep away from the Facebook is “Account Deactivate”.

The majority of the people I came across consider that account deactivation is the only solution to close their Facebook accounts. But account deactivation is entirely different from permanent account deletion. Here I am providing the procedure to close your Facebook account permanently.

Before approaching further first backup entire copy of your Facebook Data. Once your account permanently deleted, you can’t retrieve the lost data, be careful.

Click this link to get the Facebook Account deletion request page. Before pressing “Delete My Account” button read the on-screen message carefully and understand the consequences. Finally, push the button. That’s it; your Facebook Account will be permanently deleted.

Things to keep in mind:

1. Facebook may take up to 90 days to delete your entire account including the text posts, photos, and videos.

2. Even though your account deleted, the messages you sent to others will remain in their Facebook accounts.

So rethink when you are planning to close your Facebook account permanently.

facebook live android

Finally, “Facebook Live” came to the Android users. Last year Facebook started Facebook live for the celebrities who have verified profiles.

Later on 28th Jan 2016, Facebook began to provide the same feature to all the iOS users who are living U.S. now after three months wait Android users are going to experience it.

Android users are seeing a new Live Tab in the center of the Facebook application screen, where the Messenger icon is placed right now. Once you tap the Live tab, stream live videos mixed with your friends live videos, and popular live shows broadcasting from around the world will appear on the screen.

“We’ve seen that on average people watch a live video more than three times longer when it is live compared to when it is not live,” Facebook commented on Live Video.

You can get categorized live feeds based on your interest. It will take a few more days to avail the same Live Videos feature for the Android users in the other parts of the globe.

Facebook demands Court Order to remove objectionable content in India

May 3, 2016 by computerera

facebook india it act

Facebook changed the way it honors content removal requests from various laws enforcing authorities in India.

People all over the India post a huge amount of content ranging from personal opinions to political views. There is a lot of scope for crime and criminal activity on Facebook.

Earlier Facebook considered content removal requests from the police department and other legal bodies just with the official letter signed by the concerned officer.

Now Facebook has decided to follow a different approach, now onwards it only remove the content only it gets the government or court order. This is because of the misused section 66A of the IT Act of 2000, which Supreme Court of India dismissed last year.

Section 66A has its own advantages personally I treat this section as the remedy for various online issues. But as I already said above, this section got misused a lot.

Without any proper base celebrities and popular persons in politics started to abuse the section and it finally stroked down by the Supreme Court of India.

Making Laws is not sufficient in any country, strictly following those laws with common sense is what’s needed for the better society. Here in India most of the sections in IT Act are outdated, and sometimes they have a broad meaning which can be easily abused.

Today we are seriously talking about the Facebook only, but there are a lot of social networks and other platforms emerging into the Indian technology market which becomes the platform for antisocial activities.

So as a lawmaking establishment, the government should set up expert team consists of lawyers and tech people. Otherwise, solutionless tech crimes will increase.

Facebook follows its Community Guidelines if they applicable for the content removal without the court order.

Facebook is in Big Trouble in the form of user engagement

May 2, 2016 by computerera

Facebook is facing user engagement issue, yeah, what you heard is correct. These are not my words, “GlobalWebIndex” clearly stated this in its latest report.

In recent times I observed a few posts from the friends, in which they mentioned that they are losing interest on Facebook. On an average Facebook posts declined dramatically around the globe. Even though Facebook continues as the number one social networking platform, the percent of the users who post at least a single status update once in a month declined to 33% compared to last year’s percentage i.e. 44%.

Not only status updates, but people are also not willing to share the photos active on Facebook. Last year, 46% of the total Facebook users shared their personal photos on Facebook platform, but this also declined to 37% this year.

Earlier, when Facebook found downtrends in its social engagement it tried to overcome it by creating new applications into the Facebook platform. As per the reports right now Facebook is building a photo sharing application which has the characteristics of the Snapchat. You can also record live video and share them with friends, by using this new application.

When we consider Facebook’s similar attempts earlier, the latest app’s success is also unpredictable. Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012, at the same time Facebook came up with another app called Camera. But it didn’t taste the success and Facebook stopped it in 2014. Facebook released another application immediately in 2014, with the name Singleshot, directly targeting Snapchat. It is also a big failure for the Facebook, which killed the application after 18 months of its arrival.

Right now Facebook is enjoying its top position in social media, but the user engagement trends create fear in the Facebook team. If the users found a better alternative than the Facebook, they will migrate to that platform mercilessly.

I hope Facebook will not lose its social dominance. It knows the great tactics to follow in critical situations.
