FACEBOOK WILL END ON OCTOBER 15th, 2012! (UPDATE)
By Frank Lake on June 20, 2012
PALO ALTO – Facebook continues to deny rumors it is shutting down on October 15th of 2012. WWN, however, has confirmed that it is true.
On January 9th,
WWN’s ace reporter, J.B. Smitts, broke the international story that Facebook was going to close down on October 15th because Mark Zuckerberg wanted to return to a normal life. The story caused a worldwide sensation, and J.B. Smitts has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for breaking it.
Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg has publicly denied the rumors, saying, “Facebook is not going to close down. Not now, not ever. We’re just getting started.”
David Ebersman, the CFO of Facebook, and the man working with Goldman Sachs on the new Facebook financing deal said, “many people feel that the deal with Goldman Sachs will lead to a change in Facebook or that we might shut down so the government won’t force us to go public. All of those rumors are false. We are going to be stronger than ever after July 15th.”
But WWN has spoken to insiders at Facebook who strongly contradict the public statements of the executive management team.
Sources inside Facebook tell us that the company is already making plans on how to handle the big shutdown. “We can’t just turn it off on October 15th of 2012. There will be a revolution,” said one insider. “We have to prepare our users for the end of Facebook and offer them ways to keep their social networks alive.”
Zuckerberg maintains that one year is enough time for users to prepare for the demise of Facebook. It also gives rival sites time to build up their user base.
There were rumors that Zuckerberg himself was going to appear on the Oscars or a the Super Bowl, but Zuckerberg did not show up at either event. New rumors are that Zuckerberg will make “an important announcement to the world” about the future of Facebook when he meets with President Obama in the White House on September 15th.
Meanwhile, there is panic all around the globe as Facebook users (and addicts) are frightened that they may lose their social networking community. Top celebrities Tyra Banks, Mila Kunis, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, Ashton Kutchter, Carrot Top, Meryl Streep, Danny Bonaduce and the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Atlanta are all panicking about losing Facebook. “I’m addicted to Facebook,” said Tyra Banks. “Without it, my life is over!”
An online petition was started just hours ago to help persuade Zuckerberg and Facebook to remain open.
SIGN THE “SAVE FACEBOOK” PETITION HERE.
The organizer of the “Please Do Not Shut Down Facebook Petition”, Fritz Barnkopf, said, “we hope to get a million or more signatures before the Oscars, so Mark Zuckerberg will reconsider his tragic decision.”
WWN is following this developing story closely – constantly talking with Facebook insiders. We certainly are rooting for Facebook to continue because it’s an important part of our own social media strategy and leading source for our site visits.
WWN is your only reliable news source on this – and all – breaking news stories.
And now… one of the MANY videos from panicked Facebook users about the shut down:

This is bullshit! This website has posted and edited this rumor over twenty times. It went from March 15, to July 15, and now to October 15. Don't believe this article it's obviously fake.

I might just be stealing this thread, but I am wanting to get my computer system taken care of, and also do not rely upon merely anybody at all with my stuff.I recently relocated to the area and also was investigating a several pc providers, searching for ones having excellent credentials. Just after looking about I narrowed it down to this one here.Is this a real local provider that I can place confidence in? Here’s the trade name and details A Plus Computer Support 2300 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. #101 West Palm Beach, FL, 33409 (561) 283-4034. I am thankful for your direction!

I would be more concerned about the entire internet shutdown, which I understand is the REAL plan anyway. America is so in debt that there is no “bail out” left, and Americans have no one to blame but themselves. The Government has to take measures to control a population which is fast becoming a danger to themselves and others. There surely won’t be a Facebook in a Police State.

How depressed people had made their life worthy without losing their own mind by creating beautiful page to share their beautiful pain either in public icon.They must be respected who have no more computer skill but everything face book made easier to use & access.It is not just about privacy or addiction but it is about the sources & information it can hold u must not be forced to shut down.

My dearest heavenly father show mercy to this poor guy who is misleading his good intention by sending bad intended people to his beautiful creation.Show him courage to fight against it & defeat against some vampires of his work.Let him do his work at his best to protect & show up every good reasons behind it & let dry out & vapourise all his fears,troubles,discouragement,sucks,obstacles,controversies & weakness ahead.God show him right path to chose ahead.
