Today has been dubbed “Quit Facebook Day” by a number of global users who plan to delete their profiles sometime today in protest over recent changes to Facebook privacy issues. According to the We’re Quitting Facebook Website, Facebook’s revised privacy policies “demonstrate a lack of respect in how the site treats user data.” As a result, users are up in arms because of overly complex privacy settings, and upset with how Facebook handles user privacy in general.

An article by Ian Paul from PC World says that even though Facebook announced changes to it’s privacy settings this past Wednesday in response to the negative feedback, their efforts were met with mixed reviews.

As of this morning, 27,000 people are still committed to deleting their Facebook accounts—which adds up to about 0.005 percent of the 500 million users on the world’s largest social network, and a lot of bad press.

So will you or won’t you quit Facebook today? Why? Why not?

…stay tuned for the aftermath…
