User data at risk on Bebo?

Question

I read somewhere recently that bebo is to be sold/taken over, and that it is recommended for people to delete their account so their personal data cannot be then owned and used by another company. At the time I thought I must look into this, but never did follow it up.

My problem now is that I can't remember where I read this, so not sure if it is true. It may have been in the Irish Times online, or from some link on my google newsfeed but I'm really not sure.

Yeah, I heard that too..I'm not sure what they mean, by personal data...cos I deleted all my photo albums on bebo, but I have nothing else, cos I never got too many comments and the ones I got weren't very personal so I don't know what companies can use against me..But anyway, best bet for us all-DELETE YOUR BEBOS!

Yeah, if it's going to be sold you wouldn't know who to and what information they could access, also with the lack of updating the site the security could easily be at risk, so it would advisable to delete your account, it's gone down the pan anyway.

As far as I know it's true. You agreed to it in the terms and conditions when you set up your bebo account. Try facebook, its much better and safer.
