Facebook has always had somewhat shady policies, but some of the latest terms of service don’t exactly make one feel comfortable about sharing their personal information anymore. The result? Well, just take a look at the Google Trends chart below.
Searches for deleting your Facebook are on the rise, and it’s a steep hill. The chart also shows the spikes for “facebook privacy” searches which coincide near perfectly with each new policy update from Facebook. Do you think Facebook will shrivel up like the current state of Myspace? Post your thoughts below in the comment section.

Go online, talk about yourself, and meet other people. However they’ve gone so far beyond that with “Apps” and third parties trying to monetize everything within the closed environments they’ve created. Just logging in makes one feel like they are going to have 20 Farmville requests shoved down their throats and updates from people they don’t care about talking about lolcats. I think when you combine that with the INSANE privacy issues, well yeah Facebook is heading for a deadline. Comment
