You mean like image interpolation ?

perhaps because that they're just used to it ?

I recall some time back on /. , when another social networking site (which I can't recall the name) did something like this. A fellow slashdoter comes up with an interesting approach by slowly replacing the contents with false data instead of deleting the account. I think that would work well providing the site does not maintain old archives.

How will they get agreement from current users? Does the TOS pops out the next time they login during the implementation?

From the summary

I stopped reading after that.

I for one don't really care for Bad Company series, but from the article it's written that "BF1943 will be focused on multiplayer". I always thought that Battlefield were always a multiplayer focused game, how more multiplayer can it get? I hope not by having/forcing annoying network clients (like GameSpy and such).

Because, you know...criminals browse the web on their phone to plan/commit crime. Brilliant!
