Two privacy flaws in Facebook were quickly patched Wednesday, but for security experts the breaches are just signs of what may be chronic problems with the social network’s ability to preserve the sensitive data of its more than 400 million members. The flaws were linked to a feature that’s part of Facebook’s new — and controversial — privacy settings. The preview feature allows users to toggle off and on changes they make in their privacy options for the system.
I myself am done with Facebook. Their is definitely a lack of concern by Facebook for protecting information. But even when you want to close your account.

Even then I am not so sure that your personal information will ever be gone.This is very disturbing and even though I now a lot of people seem addicted to Facebook. They would be wise to rethink what information they post there.
