Why I decided to commit a Facebook suicide: Delete Facebook

RIP: Bank Light | May 21, 2007– July 18, 2016

No, I don’t have problems with self-control over Facebook usage. I have no interest to check my phone (I set up my phone to not notify me when any messages or online activities happens in FB/Line/etc.) or social media automatically every time I’m free. Although I used to be unconscious and check them all the time I have to admit, we all may have been there at one point;)

Yes, I have been trying to go off the grid by deactivating my Facebook or shut off my online life and go Into The Wild once in every few months. But now I am serious about permanently deleting Facebook. Enough is enough, to be controlled and manipulated by the digital giants.

YES! I will miss memories shared with all my friends of course, since I’m still a human being. But it’s worth it to live the real physical, spiritual life! And I invite you to do the same, starting from deleting Facebook, cold turkey. But it’s your choice. Collectively, we have a voice and freedom to choose love.

***Know that I am not blocking you if you don’t see me when you search for me to check what’s up with me. I’m digitally dead to Facebook.

Some of the Whys I Permanently Deleted Facebook:

1. I watched a documentary on Gaia TV by David Wilcock and William Henry and this one below. Please watch this eye opening documentary to deeply understand why I came to this decision.

2. I love living real life and physical connection and meditation in nature. I want to be REAL physical, meet up with friends in person and be fully present. Moreover, I prefer to meditate and be still whenever I'm free from teaching Yoga and English;)

3. Facebook and big companies like Apple and Google (not to mention DARPA~CIA) secretly track our online behaviors and sell the data-mined information to the black market for money, marketing manipulation and population control purposes. Together they want us to leave this body and live forever in a Virtual Reality since the world is facing great challenges like climate change, overpopulation, natural resource depletion and so on.

4.Facebook cofounder, Mark Z., announced the company’s successful acquisition of Oculus VR company [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Facebook]. It implies that they want to convince us that with the technologies (genes, bits, neurons, atoms) they have, we can live forever in the machine interacting with our grandchildren by the emotions and patterns of behaviors recorded via our Facebook behaviors and patterns of emotions. It’s almost as if we will be like a soul-less AI. Read #Skingularity for more info. (Yes, I’m an IT major and I studied data mining and web 2.0–3.0, it’s creepy if used by the top greedy giants.)

5. I don’t want to transcend digitally as they plan to convince us, I want to transcend this body and realm spiritually. May we have courage to turn away from the “smart” phone or computer and even from the entertainment industry to sit still and breathe deeply to transcend spiritually and create a new world from within.

6. Facebook updated terms of service (ToS) without telling us, the rightful users and global citizens, more than one time, and that’s what I call privacy violation. (Look it up if you are not convinced.) By the way, has any of you read Facebook’s ToS and related legal terms thoroughly at once?

7. Facebook (and other tech giants) is being used by people on the top of the pyramid to manipulate people’s emotions and sometimes subconsciously triggers civil wars in many countries.
