How to delete Facebook permanently? Find out now!

Are you tired of social media and want to know how to delete Facebook permanently? Come and we'll teach you how to say goodbye to this network!

It is no surprise that there are many social networks and many of them have become a craze, not only among children and teenagers but also among adults.

And since the internet arrived in Brazil and became more accessible to everyone, social networks have gained even more strength and shown that they are here to stay and with each passing year new social networks arrive and dominate the public's taste.

The most recent one that became very popular in Brazil was TikTok, which had been around for many years, but gained extreme strength with the arrival of the pandemic and became entertainment for those who could not leave their homes.

At the end of the 2000s, Facebook arrived in Brazil and arrived timidly in a country that was dominated by Orkut. 

Orkut was a social network similar to Facebook, but more limited and with some differences, such as: you could put your favorite videos in the video and photo tabs, send and receive messages and also participate in communities.

Games were also a strong point of Orkut, which arrived and made many people who didn't even have fast internet at home go to Internet cafes and update their games.

So, Facebook's arrival was slow. Many people found the social network complex and didn't understand how it worked, but it gained momentum over the years.

Facebook gained so much strength that Orkut ceased to exist after a few years and today, Facebook has more than 116 million active accounts, which is more than 50% of the Brazilian population.

However, with all the exposure that Facebook has gained, many people may want to get rid of them and never return, and if you are one of those people, this text is for you.

What reasons might lead you to want to delete Facebook permanently?

And if Facebook is such a great and communicative tool, why do some people decide to remove it from their lives for good? This could happen for a few reasons.

Toxicity

Social networks came with a great intention, which is to make people from all over the world connect with just one click and this reality is growing and with that we gain access to products from all over the world.

And for some people, Facebook fulfills this purpose and makes people use it as a work tool, others as a source of information and some people just use it to pass the time and have fun.

However, for some people this is not the reality and can have a completely opposite effect to that expected.

On social media, in general, many people manage to be toxic and use the power of being close to someone in the wrong way and think that the internet is a land without an owner and that you can do whatever you want there without any consequences.

And unfortunately, for some people the burden that the internet takes can be too much to bear and this can make people decide to permanently delete their profiles.

Get rid of addiction

Another reason that can make many people decide to delete their social networks is the addiction that social networks cause and everything that this addiction can cause.

Being connected 24 hours a day is a reality for many people and it is common for people to check their social networks while still in bed, before waking up. Many people go to work using their cell phones and in all their free time, they also check the networks.

And this can be a reason to want to exclude social networks permanently, since some people become so addicted that they forget their daily tasks to use their cell phone or stop socializing to socialize online.

Tired of social media?

Another thing that has been very common involving Facebook is that it has become an uninteresting social network for many people.

With the arrival of so many other networks, it became clear that Facebook was losing strength for some people who see it as outdated and simply stopped using the social network frequently and that's okay.

There are many social networks out there and you can always choose the ones that are best for you and that best fit your reality and needs.

And of course there are a range of reasons that can make a person delete their social network, but these three mentioned are the main causes of them.
