   Attention citizens of the world,
   We wish to get your attention, hoping you heed the warnings as follows:
   Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy.

   I wonder if this will really happen (i.e., succeed) or not? Only time will tell.

   Remember, remember the fifth of November,
   The gunpowder treason and plot
   I know of no reason
   Why the gunpowder treason
   Should ever be fought

   This does not mean that the activity will not go ahead on the 5th November, which is when it is set to take place.
   "#OpFacebook is being organised by some Anons. This does not necessarily mean that all of #Anonymous agrees with it," added the separate Anonops account.
   "Don't like facebook? Organize a 'delete your account' data.

   Can Anonymous Really Take Down Facebook?
   After the video began to pick up steam in the media, the Twitter account AnonOps, known as one of the primary communication sources for the group, tweeted out that "Operation Facebook" was a fake.
   "Medias of the world ... stop lying!" the account said late Tuesday night. "#OpFacebook is just another fake! We don't "kill" the messenger. That's not our style."

   Take a lesson from Facebook scare
   Last week my feed was filled with users posting a warning in their status messages: "ALL THE PHONE NUMBERS IN YOUR CONTACTS LIST ON YOUR PHONE ARE NOW ON FACEBOOK!" The all-caps alert went on to show users how to access the phone numbers of Facebook friends and personal contacts. After clicking on "Account" in the top right, and then "Edit friends," a page appears for managing groups of friends. On the left side there's a link for "Contacts," and clicking that shows phone numbers that only the user can see.
   The Contacts list, formerly called Phonebook, has existed for a long time. Facebook made a point to clarify that last week, saying "Just like on your phone, only you can see these numbers." So why the alarm? For starters, it shows that many users still don't understand what exactly they are sharing or what tools are available to them on Facebook. If you're ever unsure of what you are sharing, go to your account privacy settings and click "Preview My Profile"
