Last but not least: "Facebook, we don't need you"
Over the past few days, an event has been making the rounds online that aims, in a sense, to boycott Facebook: The «A Day Without Facebook» project has sparked a real movement; as of Tuesday, over 200,000 people had already confirmed their participation—on Facebook.
Around 1.5 million users of the social media platform were invited to give up the platform last Wednesday, October 1. The Facebook-free day was to begin at 8 a.m. and end at midnight. The accompanying information states, among other things: "We can ALL do without Facebook for a day!"
In the end, over 213,000 people took part in the event. How many of the confirmed guests simply forgot about the major Facebook event of the year - without being able to take a look at the event calendar - remains to be seen. (uma)
