Arrgh Facebook is lying about me

Maybe I am wrong, but Dave you said you deleted your account. Are you sure that is your account, if it was shouldn't it resolve to your _username_ you chose?

> But when I went to my URL, or at least what I remember my URL to be:

> http://www.facebook.com/dave.winer

The account Ben showed doesn't seem to be yours.

http://graph.facebook.com/100002526165063 (no username showed here)

whereas

http://graph.facebook.com/dave.winer (false i.e. gone)

Unless Facebook releases usernames after deleting accounts (or you remember that this is indeed your Facebook ID) I think these are all different accounts. There is also another http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001554391855 which as well does not show your username.

The first comment on the post explains that the account in question appears to be set up by a spammer. It is an impersonation by a bad apple, not something Facebook did. Reporting it should result in its removal, hopefully.

If that doesn't happen, _then_ Facebook is responsible.
