How does it feel if you suddenly don’t have access to Facebook?
“One night I got really drunk and changed my Facebook password to something I thought would be easier to remember. When I woke up and realised I had no idea what I had changed it to, […] I realised I was locked out. I was surprised that it made me a bit anxious for a couple of hours. After that I realised I felt great, that actually I’d been thinking and talking about how stupid, pointless, and time-wasting the damn thing was for ages, let alone the fact that I was giving a corporation all of my personal details and habits for free.
“I left it like that for a year, then spent a couple of days going through the process of regaining my password from them so I could permanently delete it. […] These days I have no regrets at all – I much prefer twitter[…]” – M, 29, Admin Manager
