I deleted my Facebook account in 2012. Haven't missed it. Let's hope this poor soul can finally be brave enough to find the close account button. Might not even need to write a script to do that.
I have actually strengthened my friendships and moved quickly up in my career as a result of deleting most social media.
Social media is like the dessert of the internet. Use it sparingly.
My concern is that if I shut down my account completely, someone else--possibly Facebook itself--could credibly impersonate me on the platform and thus use the idea of me as a means to target my friends and acquaintances that use it more frequently.
My understanding, though, is that others don't have this same experience with real life social interaction, so might not as easily notice how much FB amplifies it.
I think the facebook(.com) product has some serious soul-searching to do and if they continue to ignore their monumental problem -- it will not end well for them, nor their stockholders.
