I deactivated(not deleted) my facebook account 2 days back thinking that my profile would not be available to rest of the world. But what I see here is that my friends can still visit my facebook profile, they actually can message me, post something on my wall, search my profile which pops-up in their search results. But if I hit the direct URL of my profile without logged-in it gives "Content Not Available" but my logged-in friends can see my profile.
Is there any recent policy that facebook made for Account Deactivation?
