As of March 2013, there are a total of 1.11 billion registered Facebook users, with more than half of them logging onto the social networking site daily. However, gains in its primary target markets (the US and Canada) are not as significant, and several reports from independent sources indicate decreases in totals of monthly unique users in the lucrative US, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, and UK markets. This does not mean that people are deactivating or deleting their accounts. Doing so would permanently bar them access to any file and log they have put up on the site since they signed up for an account. The chances of retrieving photos and other files from a corrupted disk drive is bigger in a Los Angeles data recovery facility than resurrecting a deleted Facebook account. It is possible that some, if not all, data is stored somewhere in a couple of Facebook's servers, but no request for retrieving one's files will be entertained by the site. On its FAQ section, it clearly states that by requesting for one's account to be deleted, one agrees to give up his right to recover anything he's added. People delete, or temporarily deactivate their accounts for many reasons. On Reddit, a San Francisco-based social news website, a user registered as RoswellSpaceman commented that “People [on Facebook] make bland, “safe” posts when they know that their familial and professional superiors are watching them. Facebook got boring once it became inter generational.” This sentiment is echoed in the thread by other users. Younger age groups are moving onto other social networks and Business Insider reported that Facebook itself warned its advertisers that the company “might be losing younger users to their products and services similar to, or as a substitute for, Facebook.” Founder Mark Zuckerberg believes that the switch of its most active users from being PC-based to mobile phone-based hints Facebook to developing better designs that will appeal to smarthphone users. Facebook is no Los Angeles data recovery service and deleting your Facebook account may bar your access to other sites as well. Mashable's Elisha Hartwig warns Facebook users that some sites allows logins through Facebook account, and not all of them allow users to switch from a Facebook-based login to the conventional username-password combination.
