I'm afraid it's too far gone to think that closing a FB account is going to solve everything , personally even by viewing that segment your i.p adress has probably been recorded for scrutiny at some point....yadda yadda.
Where does the paranpoia stop ?
Agreed , FB is probably a boon for intelligence services , it would make it much easier to trace people associated with other people then , in Ulster we depended on the individual soldiers being 'trained' in recognising the players involved through pictorial means primarily , down to the int collators stopping and pointing out the players on the street - I once had a well known ( now deceased ) IPLO player say to me - ' you must be the int guy then ' . We traced their movements and who was with them this way - it built up a picture of their daily movements etc.
Nowadays its all too easy for TPTB to collate such stuff , FB and twitter being points in hand.
I have nothing to hide - my movements and associations are free for most to browse , as are my interests and dislikes.
I am a member of a fishing forum , which , in its member details - actually gives a google earth pic of your location when you joined ...I wasn't aware at the time and it was a surprise when I saw my info as others see it - complete with a nearly correct map ref of my location.
Going off the radar isn't as easy as you might think.
Once you change adress it is easier - but if you sign up for elec, gas , CT or have a vehicle registered to you unless at a prev address then you can be tracked...credit cards , bank accounts , mobile phones.
To be totally secure - you must be totally ordinary and entirely inconspicuous....as well as anonymous online whilst using proxy servers - that I still think can be used for tracking anyway.

Trying very hard not to be paranoid.....and it aint getting easier.
