　　Leaving Facebook? You can try... but 'evil genius' social network won't make it easy

　　The tide is turning against Facebook - last month, more than 100,000 Britons d their accounts on the social networking site.

　　But committing ‘Facebook suicide’ is not as easy as you might think.

　　If you are truly determined to do the deed there are two options: you can deactivate or .

　　Deactivation is the soft option. You can do this by chosing ‘a(chǎn)ccount settings’ and clicking the ‘deactivate’ button.

　　But, in a stroke of evil genius, Facebook then confronts you with pictures of your friends and messages saying how much they will ‘miss you’.

　　Swallowing the lump in your throat, you then have to opt out of Facebook emails - or the site will continue to taunt you with messages about parties and events you are now missing.

　　Even then, deactivation does not actually get rid of your account but leaves it ‘hanging in a cloud’, waiting for you to scurry back.

　　Deletion is more terminal and the social networking site doesn’t make it easy. You have to search Facebook’s servers for how to do it and then send in a request which has to be confirmed by email.

　　Facebook insists that within two weeks every single trace of you will be gone from its servers, with no chance of getting it back.

　　But even then you will still have a presence on the website if any of your Facebook friends continue to put up photos of you.

　　So there would be nothing to stop your friends uploading photos of you on your stag do, skinny-dipping, or at graduation celebrations.

　　And nothing to stop your boss finding them.

　　Facebook潮流正在發(fā)生逆轉(zhuǎn)——上個(gè)月10萬(wàn)余英國(guó)人刪除了自己在社交網(wǎng)站上的賬號(hào)。

　　但是“Facebook自殺”可不像你想的那么容易。

　　如果你確實(shí)打定主意要脫離社交網(wǎng)站，你有兩個(gè)選擇：你可以注銷或刪除你的.賬戶。

　　注銷賬戶是比較方便的選擇。你可以選擇“賬戶設(shè)置”然后點(diǎn)擊“注銷”按鈕，就完成了。

　　但是，突然間，就像邪惡精靈一樣，F(xiàn)acebook會(huì)讓你看到你的好友的照片和他們會(huì)如何“想念你”的信息。

　　在努力壓制欲望的同時(shí)，你必須選擇拒收Facebook的郵件，否則Facebook會(huì)繼續(xù)用你想去的各種聚會(huì)和活動(dòng)的信息折磨你。

　　就算如此，注銷也不能讓你完全擺脫你的賬戶，而是讓它“掛在云端”，等著你把它要回去。

　　刪除賬戶則更徹底，不過(guò)社交網(wǎng)站不會(huì)讓你輕易刪除。你必須在Facebook的服務(wù)器上搜索刪除的程序，然后發(fā)出請(qǐng)求，還必須經(jīng)過(guò)電子郵件認(rèn)證。

　　Facebook堅(jiān)稱，在兩周內(nèi)你所有的記錄都會(huì)從服務(wù)器上消除，也不能再恢復(fù)。

　　但是即使這樣，如果你的任何一個(gè)Facebook好友繼續(xù)上傳你的照片，你還是會(huì)在社交網(wǎng)站上露面。

　　如果你的朋友要上傳你在單身聚會(huì)或畢業(yè)典禮上的照片或你的裸泳照，就沒(méi)有任何辦法可以阻止了。

　　同樣地，也無(wú)法阻止你的老板找到這些信息。

　　Vocabulary:

　　deactivate: to cause to be inactive; remove the effectiveness of（停用，撤銷，使無(wú)效）

　　taunt: to try to make somebody angry or upset by saying unkind things about them, laughing at their failures, etc.（辱罵；嘲笑；諷刺；奚落）
