I think Canada was the first country to raise the alarm about them and I'm very glad to hear the US privacy folks showing concern now too.

Apparently there is a "trick" to canceling your FB account. (One they don't tell you on the site.) You need to go through the motions to cancel the account and then STAY AWAY for at least two weeks.
What they rely on is the temptation to "check back" to see if your account has really been canceled and if you do, that re-activates the account and you're back to square one.
