If you really want scaring delete your Facebook account then go back a year later and open another one with the same email address. It's like you'd never left. What is even more disconcerting is it isn't just like it was paused 12 months ago and you've just hit the play button again, there will be stuff in there after your account closure date that's relevant to stuff you did off Facebook over the following 12 months.

It's like Hotel California, you can enter but you can never leave.

Facebook has data halls around the world to store everything tied to your profile. Even with a new account, the personal information, friends and relatives, devices, geotags,… there’s so many variables that can connect you to the old account so they can continue to store information on you.
