Interest has crashed the site, which currently has the phrase "Fuzzy Orb is currently down for some maintenance... we will be back shortly! Who opened the floodgates?" for all interested visitors
May 31st is Quit Facebook Day. Right now almost 15,000 people are signed up to quit on that day. Organizers of the event give this reason for quitting:
"For us it comes down to two things: fair choices and best intentions. In our view, Facebook doesn't do a good job in either department. Facebook gives you choices about how to manage your data, but they aren't fair choices, and while the onus is on the individual to manage these choices, Facebook makes it damn difficult for the average user to understand or manage this. We also don't think Facebook has much respect for you or your data, especially in the context of the future.
For a lot of people, quitting Facebook revolves around privacy. This is a legitimate concern, but we also think the privacy issue is just the symptom of a larger set of issues. The cumulative effects of what Facebook does now will not play out well in the future, and we care deeply about the future of the web as an open, safe and human place. We just can't see Facebook's current direction being aligned with any positive future for the web, so we're leaving."
Are you a Facebook fan? Will you quit on May 31st? Is Fuzzy Orb an option?
