10 Reasons You Should Delete Your Facebook Account
It's time to end this madness.
If youre reading this, and you dont have a Facebook account, then congratulations: youre one of the privileged few. Thats what it seems like, anyway that people without Facebook profiles are few and far between in this day and age. That cant be the case though, right? There are six billion people on the planet, and even Facebooks best guess is that they have around 1.3 billion active monthly users, a figure thats probably manipulated from real statistics to keep their stock price as high as possible. So thats got to mean that, conservatively, at least 78% of the people living in the world today dont have or at least, dont use a Facebook account. But do you know any of them? Chances are you do but Facebook is so omnipresent in peoples lives that you may not realise you do. That 78% of the population of Earth are probably getting on just fine without it, though.

Consider this article your lone voice, crying in the wilderness (although its not alone, by any stretch of the imagination plenty of people are beginning to say the same thing). Lets stand up and do something about it. Lets delete our Facebooks. Heres why.
