HOAX - Facebook to shut down its services on March 15

Facebook to shut down its services on March 15 is a HOAX!

As quoted on Weekly World News site,

“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.”

The truth is Avrat Humarthi is a made-up Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. Facebook is not going to be closed on the said date, as tweeted by Facebook themselves.

We didn't get the memo about shutting down, so we'll keep working away. We aren't going anywhere; we're just getting started.

I repeat myself here - Facebook to shut down its services on March 15 is a HOAX!
