changes to its privacy policy,
including enabling its business partners to
obtain users' data.
This has upset many users and left some
others confused as they felt that Facebook
has made it difficult for them to understand.
The web master of quitfacebookday.com wrote:
"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."
The web master also suggested several
alternatives site to Facebook such as Twitter,
Flickr and Akoha.
"At the moment, there aren't a lot of great
options for direct replacement but you’re
not alone.
"When there's a market need, it's not long
before better options appear," wrote the web
master.
It is not clear how many people will quit
Facebook on Monday but according to a
poll conducted by Sophos, an estimated 60
