    I recently closed a facebook account that I only used to play some games. It was linked to a Gmail account that I only used for that account. I never once used that email for any other purpose. 24hrs after I closed that account and my primary account I began receiving spam on my gmail account and my spam doubled on my regular account. Take it for what it's worth, they say no but the results say yes.

    I would have to YES, I have a FAKE Facebook account under the user name "Janis" yes that's right fake. Now I get at least one email a day named directly at "Janis". How about that. I need a lawyer, smells like a lawsuit to me.

    Facebook's Statement says that they will not so I don't believe so, but thats what they make spam filters for in the first place ; )

    in their privacy area it states they share information as long as your settings say they can - as far as selling your email, it duznt say that, it says share it - if you are on facebook, change your privacy settings to reflect you dont want this to go on

    Nope. Facebook agrees not to do that rotten dirty business.

    No, but there are programs that troll public websites and work at collecting them.

    I read in the terms that it does in fact do exactly that.
