Facebook blocks account deletion tool

Social network giant Facebook is blocking the "Web 2.0 Suicide Machine" which assists users in deleting profiles from various networks.

The network also said it had sent a letter to a similar website, requesting it cease-and-desist all action.

The Suicide Machine helps users delete profiles from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn. "This machine lets you delete all your energy sucking social networking profiles, kill your fake virtual friends, and completely do away with your Web 2.0 alter ego," the site claims.

However, Facebook has said the site is in violation of its rules.

"Facebook provides the ability for people who no longer want to use the site to either deactivate their account or delete it completely," Facebook said."Web 2.0 Suicide Machine collects login credentials, which is a violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (SRR)," it said.

"We've blocked the site's access to Facebook as is our policy for sites that violate our SRR. We're currently investigating and considering whether to take further action."

SOCIAL NETWORKING IS JUST AN ESCAPE FOR SHEEPLE WHO CANNOT COPE WITH HARSH REALITIES LIKE THIS:

Another False Flag Operation: Black Bloomer Bomber Bungle is Bogus. Following the preordained pathway and modus operandi of his predecessor, USA Puppet President Barack "MoDubya" Obama has declared that 23-year-old banker's son and black bloomer bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had ties in Yemen to "al-Qaeda", the CIA-fabricated global network of boogeymen whose "terrorist cells" conveniently pop up wherever and whenever "they"--the consortium of Wall Street Banksters, Peak Oil Gangsters, and Military-Industrial Profiteers who rule America--need an excuse to take the rights, resources, livelihoods and lives away from yet another sovereign nation or innocent group of people. But choose your source, left or right, the message in the links below is the same: After secretly evacuating Yemen's Jews from harm's way (WSJ tinyurl.com/yhtf4mc), on Christmas Day 2009 "they"--most likely through intelligence operatives--staged the failed attempt at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport to blow up Detroit-bound Delta/Northwest Airlines flight 253, using that pitiful London-educated Nigerian patsy to provide the pretext for (a) extending Big Brother's No-Fly List, (b) renewing the Patriot Act, and (c) expanding our global war for peak oil and profit into Yemen.
