Addy is right, but that's not the only reason they have that policy. Let's say you created an account, uploaded a few pictures and then deleted said account. The information policy is to avert any legea attempts to remove those pictures and swears off legal obligation for the FB staff to remove those pictures. That being said, they are some tricky marketing bastards with way more ambition than scruples.
