Facebook under scrutiny in Uk

Another article by Gadgetell; Facebook is being investigated in UK. The controversy involves Facebook's tendency to hang onto user details long after users have said adieu to the network. There is a note saying that you can log on, delete your details and then Facebook will delete info from server if user asks them to do so. Er, go back to that bit about keeping it on the server. On another note, doesn't hotmail do the same thing?
