Know why celebs think deleting your facebook account is important:
It seems that Facebook’s PR nightmare is not going to get over soon. Recently, India asked the Cambridge Analytical if it had been related to utilization of data of Indians. Following the statement that Facebook has released personal data of Indians, celebrities are deleting their Facebook account.
Actor-director Farhan Akhtar is the latest celebrity who decides to quit social networking site Facebook in the wake of the data breach. Though he hasn’t shared the reason, it seems he followed famous personalities like Elon Musk, Cher, and Jim Carrey. They might have done this due to sensitivity to abuse of personal data.

However, the verified FarhanAkhtarLive page is still active.
