5 Reasons Why Users Delete Facebook Accounts

There are several reasons why users decide to delete their Facebook account, including the following:

1. Just a waste of time

The first reason why users delete their Facebook accounts is because it is a waste of time. Do you know how long the average Indonesian spends accessing their social media in a day? Yes, according to data, the average Indonesian accessing their social media in a day is 5.1 hours per day.

That time is certainly more than Americans who access social media which is only 3.2 hours per day on average or even Japanese people only 2.3 hours per day. If, only seen from the average Facebook user, in a day the average Indonesian spends at least 6 hours per day on Facebook social media only.

You must know that Facebook is just a sucker for your time, so it makes you less productive. By spending 6 hours per day just playing Facebook, that is the same as a quarter of a day spent just looking at people’s status or news feeds. Then, when else do you have time to study, work and sleep?

2. No more private place

Another reason why users delete their Facebook accounts is because there is no more privacy space. Facebook this time has removed the option so that your account is not tracked in the search field. Little by little Facebook is destroying the ability of its users to hide their personal information.

Facebook already provides a Privacy tab, but that menu makes Facebook even more complicated than it used to be when you could hide some of your information from the network.

Imagine how much personal information you have already shared? Starting from what you like, family members, your status, your religion, and so on are already held by Facebook. So, the only way to keep you free from malicious behavior such as snooping or snooping internet criminals is to block them, or the more effective way is to delete your Facebook account.

3. Don’t know who to be friends with

The next reason why users delete their Facebook accounts is because they don’t know who they are friends with. Surely inside you don’t want to carelessly add “friends” that you don’t know.

As our parents used to say “Don’t talk to strangers”. The old people’s messages seem to have been ignored for now or maybe because you’ve been tricked by Facebook’s algorithm into telling you that you’re friends with person C because you’re friends with A and B too.

Every day, Facebook always recommends that you make friends with people you don’t know, even if you never hear their names or see their faces. Facebook’s algorithm keeps forcing you to make friends because of mutual friends that match. So, your Facebook only contains people you don’t know, sometimes they even invite you to a page or game.

4. Unsafe data or information

Another reason is because the data or information listed on Facebook is no longer safe. In June last, Facebook has revealed the results of its ‘study’ based on experiments on 689,000 users, who did not know that their data, information and status were taken for Facebook’s experimental material.

Facebook manipulates interactions between users to prove that feelings of sadness, joy, and other emotions are contagious to other users. From one friend to another. This is one example of a form of horror that Facebook can do to break into and take advantage of user information that should be protected not to be secretly experimented with.

5. In order to avoid the nickname Alay or Lebay

The next reason is to avoid being called alay or lebay. You must know people like this who always appear to tell you that he is at the mall but didn’t buy anything, or he complains about his current situation, or says that Indonesia’s scenery is more beautiful than the photos of foreign landscapes that he uploads.

Maybe you are a little annoyed with people like this and not infrequently you might say “it’s too much, a little showing off”. Are you familiar with them? Yes, it could happen to you. You can also be the subject of other people’s talk without you knowing. Therefore, it is better to delete your Facebook account and do other useful things.

Closing

That’s how to delete facebook account easily, either temporarily or permanently. If there is no compelling reason to delete your Facebook account, I suggest not deleting it.

Use facebook only as necessary, lest you become addicted, to the point that you forget to do your school/office assignments. Facebook was built for positive purposes, therefore, use it wisely.
