Is that true they shutting down facebook in March? - Love Me Hate Me - 12-10-2012 07:56 PM My friends are on FB talking about they shutting down facebook this coming March. Is that true? Why? Facebook is like my whole freaking life all my family and friends are on there. - JAAzScr372 - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM No why would they?!?! - Princess Psycho - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM No it's a rumor based on a fictitious, satirical story published on WeeklyWorldNews.com, a tabloid-style website (formerly a weekly newspaper) best known for past scoops such as "Alien Spaceships to Attack Earth in 2011" and "Megan Fox Is a Man." - Da one & only - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM No its a silly rumor. they made a silly page on fb about it too. but its just a rumor. google it and it will tell u fb aint going nowhere - Alex - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM No this is just a fake news they are not shutting down. - Ashton X - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM http://techie-buzz.com/social-networking/facebook-not-closing-on-15th-march.html This is from the link above: “After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.” It's not true. Apparently it's from a satirical site that posts fake international news, intended to mess with people for funsies: http://www.fakingnews.com Mark says: "We didn’t get the memo about shutting down, so we’ll keep working away like always. We aren’t going anywhere; we’re just getting started." - Rom Cartridge - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM It's not true, it's a rumor that was created by mixing two different news, probably started by a satirical page. Facebook already responded to this rumor by saying that it's not true and that they are just getting started. Follow the link of the source for more information. - seo webmaster - 12-10-2012 08:04 PM Of course that's not true. Here's the link that confirms that Facebook will not shut down. http://mashable.com/2011/01/09/facebook-shutdown/ News from Mashable.com "UPDATE] We have official confirmation from Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu that the rumor is false. We asked him via e-mail if Facebook (Facebook) was shutting down on March 15, to which he responded, “The answer is no, so please help us put an end to this silliness.” He added, “We didn’t get the memo about shutting down and there’s lots to do, so we’ll just keep cranking away like always.”
