@kaidenshi No, it's them. I had a friend who used to work for FB confirm it. The best thing we can do is never open an account. Too late for that now.
We've done everything we can to delete our accounts. That's the best we can do. Maybe, someday, a law will be passed that makes it illegal to hold accounts dormant when a delete request has been made. Until then we just have to live with this. And not log in.
