We, the undersigned, believe that the social networking site you created has become an integral part of our daily lives. It is our primary source for communicating and sharing information with friends, family and colleagues around the world.

We also use it to market our products and services, so its demise would cause great economic hardship.

We feel that if you shut down Facebook on March 15th, it will irreparably impact our lives. We can't imagine life without Facebook!

We know it is a stressful time for you, providing a service for over 500 million users in over 70 languages, but you have built something beautiful something bigger than all of us.

We believe that Facebook is the embodiment of freedom of expression and democratic principles; it is a giant leap for mankind.

We join together in this petition to let you know that we are grateful for all you have done and to demonstrate the support that exists for Facebook.

We urge you in the strongest way possible to reconsider your decision to shut down Facebook.

We are certain that you can find a way to continue the service - you must, and we will be there to support you.

We remain steadfastly committed to Facebook - and implore you to continue serving the millions, soon to be billions, of users worldwide.

    • Facebook has allowed me a way to keep in touch with distant friends and relatives. It's done that for so many others. Facebook is so successful and has dissolved the miles between relations for so many people. If you do away with it, you are selfish, stupid and spiteful. Typical actions of high-powered, socially numb corporate pigs! If that describes you....

    • Mr. Zuckerberg, if what we're hearing is true that you intend to shut Facebook down so can return to normal life and spend more time with your family, we are asking you to look back and see the distance you've come to reached the 15 of March 2011 and what you have done in the lives of millions; you change our world. you brought scattered families together; some of us who experienced civil war might never have located our lost family but Facebook, your idea, has make it possible. We say thank you for that. Therefore this is our plead, we the Facebook community is kindly asking you to reconsider the decision of shutting the world largest social networking site down. Please not now, and hopefully never in the history of mankind. May the God of heaven and earth, the God of my forefathers be with you and your family. And may he help you in making this tough decision for with him all high mountains are made plain. From us all, your Facebook family.

    • He would be so wrong to shut down FB. With all the people who use FB I would not want to be him if he does. I have family in the Phillipines I have never known about until FB. Now I have hundreds of family members who we are daily chatting with. It would be a sad day if it does shut down.
