I deleted most of what put on FB, especially any photos that I've taken and I no longer post anything on Facebook. I stopped short of nuking my account altogether so that people could contact me if they couldn't otherwise.

Their advertising and promotion practices where they use your stuff to promote Facebook and/or their advertisers (without asking or even notifying you) was enough (sure you can wade through the myriad settings and "opt-out", but who has time for that), but the stories of people "digitally kidnapping" pictures of children for "BabyRP" and other perverted or otherwise creepy activities was just too much.
