Farhan Akhtar 'Permanently' Deletes His Personal Facebook Account After Data Breach Reports
Farhan Akhtar is always known to speak his mind. Whether it was taking a stand on the Hrithik-Kangana case or supporting his MARD campaign (Men Against Rape and Discrimination), the actor has always been vocal about his point of views with his friends and fans.
The 44-year-old now has permanently deleted his Facebook account. Farhan took to Twitter to announce the big news. ¡°Good morning. This is to inform you all that I have permanently deleted my personal Facebook account. However, the verified FarhanAkhtarLive page is still active,¡± Farhan posted on Twitter.
His move comes after Facebook faced worldwide criticism over the claims that Cambridge Analytica, the UK data analysis firm hired by Donald Trump¡¯s 2016 campaign, harvested and misused data of 50 million members. The actor-director, however, did not mention the reason for quitting the platform.

Earlier, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk also deleted Facebook pages of SpaceX, Tesla and his own official account on the social media platform. ¡°It¡¯s not a political statement and I didn¡¯t do this because someone dared me to do it. Just don¡¯t like Facebook. Gives me the willies. Sorry,¡± Musk tweeted.
Well, people do take their privacy seriously!
