I am exceedingly honored to be a member of this worthy cause. Especially since I am the very first member of the very first American protest against that despicable object: Facebook.

Three cheers for Marissa, who quite deserves the honored status of very first member of the AFLI!

Thank you for telling me about this! I am so excited to be a member of AFLI!

I am glad that I never got a Facebook acount!

I hope there soon will be an anti-facebook group in Denmark. Facebook has become a time-waster – and who has in fact 200 or more real friends? Long live AFLI – hold on in the rejection of a facebook profile

Kirstine,
Thank you so much for your comment! Although my original plan was to keep this a purely American organization, I have been rethinking that as of late. In fact, the AFLI recently added Paul from Australia to its ranks! So, please do not let your location encumber your desire to join the AFLI. Feel free to become an official member, the AFLI would be honored! I may be editing this site soon to transform it into an “International Protest Against Facebook!”

Where can I buy some anti Facebook t shirts and stuff? I live 20 minutes from their headquarters and would love to waltz pass and see how many dirty looks I get. My only solace is hoping another fad comes along to blast Facebook into Hell. I have enough false friends. I don’t need Facebook to organize more of them.

How might I join the AFLI?
I love this.

Glad to hear this! Just leave a comment on the Join Now! page expressing your desire to join! Please specify whether you would like to be an official member or an auxiliary member, and what name you would like put down on the Record of Members. That is all there is to it! Let me know if you have any other questions. -Savanna J. Buckner

I would like to express my support for AFLI.
I just found out about this movement today, and I’m very relieved to know that I am not alone in my loathing of Facebook! I have always been adamant about not signing up to that despicable trend-of trends. And, I never, ever, felt like I was being left out.
Thank you for allowing me to express this. -Larry Ortiz, The Philippines

Though I’m with you guys on the anti-facebook thing… I’m not sure of a couple of things.
Firstly, of how you managed to rope religion into the whole act? Why does a group who happen to dislike a website have to be associated with God?
Priorities people.
Secondly, the member count seems rather less than the newly reached 500million who are on facebook (though I accept not all of them use the site).
I think maybe some consideration must go into how you can make this site appeal to more before you can consider making a genuine stand (by genuine I mean one, which “facebooker’s” won’t smirk at.)
Apologies if any offence is caused.
Ralph.

Ralph, I want to ask you why you don’t think that Savanna should include reverence for God in her website? Personally, I think she is setting her priorities straight. God is waaay more important than Facebook will ever be.
There are several former “facebookers” that are members of Miss Buckner’s website, and I don’t think that they smirked when they saw her site, instead, they became members! Personally, I am very proud of my friend’s site. But you are right, some improvement might be a good thing!
God bless,
Marissa

Hello there,
I have various reasons for joining this glorious league:
1. You just received my email with three articles from my blog describing my deep loathing of what I like to call Fascistbook.
2. I must join forces with those– even if we are outnumbered– who have turned their backs on the Face and who still have an inkling as to what self-control, moral responsibility, and spiritual and intellectual enlightenment are.
3. I’ve always dreamed of being on a real league.
Please accept me as a humble proponent and activist of the Anti-Facebook League of Intelligentsia.

I am a Brit totally opposed to Facebook. How many relationships will it wreck? So pleased to find your site.

I have joined and cancelled Facebook 3-4 times.
Facebook creeeps me out. I just read the Time Magazine article naming Mark Zuckerberg Person of the Year. Now I’m even MORE creeped out.
So, sign me up!

sign me up. facebook makes me angry. such a waste of life and its all over the media and it seems like everything says “follow us on facebook” nowadays.

Is this “movement” still alive? There hasn’t been any activity of any significance on this website for about a month.
April 11, 2011 at 11:06 am
Firdaus
Yes it is alive. You can add in and kick start some activity if you wish to. But yes, we are here.

I want to be a part of something that the others aren’t doing, it seems like now you HAVE TO BE IN FACEBOOK to be part of this society.
I have refused to be part of that, I will like to take part on this.
Even if you will need it in English, French or Spanish, but I can help.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Mario Landa.

Hello my name is Gregory, I study in high school Francois Truffaut, I live in Paris, France. I am 16 years old and unlike the people of my age I am against Facebook. I think Facebook is not enought secure, contrary to what we believe. all persons registered on Facebook can see our profile and our photo, and I think that we wouldn’t like our boss fall on some parties pictures or holiday is not it? I also think that most of the young people become addicted to a social network and isolated from friends and family. On Facebook, some people create fake profiles to add people so we can fall on pedophiles or other. So I think we should delete Facebook, or permit to persons over the age of 18.

Hello. I am an anti-facebook. I will told why i am. I did have facebook for two years and five months. I have give up four months ago.
While i was in facebook, i have lost a grade in my bacharel, i didn´t study well, i let do things like play guitar, read or didn´t spend my free time with things more useful and interesting, i get tired and sometimes irritated, i have lost some useful contact with my “real friends and family” and i didn´t have privacy. So i give up. Facebook didn´t make me happy or full in my life with digital friends. Facebook is a lobby digital office, like others that get advantage from weak people and the tendency of this misleading society that no longer knows what are the true values. In my point of view we have to see the true socialise with real people and the true values like respect, compassion, sympathy, simplicity and others, not with machines and we have to try change ourselfs to not being slaves of money or plastic or image. We have to is to see the true target in our lifes. why we are here? why we have born? what impact my life have in this world? What i can do to change for good this world? What is behind this Universe? What can i do to achieve us a human and us a being in this Universe? That are the questions i do and try to answer ( i am a environmentalist, volunteer and agnostic and i have a lot of curiosity for spiritual, science and culture).
I know that hotmail or skype ( i have this accounts) are useful to connect with our family and friends that are in other parts of the planet, but exist telephone insteed of that.
By the away i see that you have an option to logging to facebook or twitter. Isn´t this a contradiction?

Full deletion off account last week. Never had so many people talking about me behind my back or so many people expecting me to justify why I did. Insidious and dangerous. As well as being a complete waste of time

How many real friends do you have in your lifetime? And do you speak with them face to face? I have six and speak to them eye to eye nearly every week. I do not need facebook for that. Waste of time and creation of Big Brother Unlimited. I can do without it,
Have a nice long Free of Social Media day.
Enjoy life, not your computer/tablet/smartphone.

Hello ! My name is Samira, I live in Evry, I’m seventine years old.
I would like to express my support for AFLI.
I am Against Facebook because Facebook is has become a time-waster ! This is not secure, you can lose your friends, there are very Fakes on Facebook. People can see your photos, you can be hacked and you have no privacy it’s a total time-waster for a young people and for future ganerations !
You can become addicted, Facebook is not a way to make serious knowledge. On Facebook, people can lie to you about their pesonal information.I really think Facebook is a communication tool for people.Facebook raising a perfectly unfair and fraudulent personal data of its users, without them knowing about itor that their consent free, express and specific, has been required facebook is a website suitable for all the world! People do not realize that facebook is not a reliable site and it will become quickly addicted.

My name is Steve, I am 16 years old . And I study in François Truffaut high school .
Since last year I used Facebook like the others young people. So I will speak about Facebook with experience. Recently I was stopped to use Facebook because it has a bad influence for us. It is an entertaining and attractive site. But it soon becomes a drug and a need for teenagers. When we coming at home we dispatch to connect on Facebook. We spend more time on it that to work. And we exposed our life and it can be dangerous. We meet people, sometimes unknown and this i s very dangerous , because a name can be hide an another person. I think it’s a bad website. So be carefull gys.

I dislike Facebook for one particular reason, it has become a societal monster that reaches further and further into not only users lives but also the lives of those uninterested in being members. I have no bias against those who choose to use Facebook and do not wish to become a member of this website because in doing so I would too be allowing Facebook to reach into my life. Do not reminisce over the things you feel have no place in your life but rather involve yourselves in the things you feel do have an important place in your life. Place more emphasis on enjoying what you like than on criticizing what you don’t.

Last sign in on facebook. I joined it since its beginning when it was targeted towards college students. it has its positives but also it flaws. I admire everyones comments. What happened to true human contact? If my friends really cared about me they should give me a call.

SUGGESTION: Post a seperate section just for comments. I’ve been posting in the TO JOIN section until I found the posting string folllowing the list of AFLI members. If there is already a section for posting messages with other members (other than this one here) please make it more easily accessed. That being said i am going to repost my messages from the TO JOIN section here in hopes of establishing some ongoing communication:
MESSAGE #1: I can’t be the only one with this thought, but i am really serious here folks: What about organizing a mass class action suit against Zuckerberg for violating people’s right to privacy. I have no doubt there would be lots of witnessses to the damage his ‘creation’ has done to their lives. Fighting ‘Big Brother’ would be daunting, but…Savanna what are your thoughts? (Anybody willing to take this on “pro bono!” )

MESSAGE #2:
Saw a video commerical from Nivea last month supporting National PDA Day – June 20th– that featured commentary about how we, as people, send too much time on electroncial devices to communicate and specifically mentioned facebook! I was begining to feel excited that our message had finally leaked its’ way into the masses, BUT…my cynical nature proved me right again when i saw the sponser—–facebook!!!! Slicky Dick –kind of reminds me of Tricky Dick – you remember him!
Anyway… take a look at the commic section in our AFLI website and you will see a cartoon that expresses this ‘economic tactic’ in all its glory. Just like the cartoon shows – facebook selling adds to use about being “facebook free”. Now you’e got a true to life example right in your face. Why can’t I be wrong about this stuff!? I Can’t seem to embed the video although i was able to post it in our “Comments in the World At Large” section. Go there to view the “truth in action!”

I agree with you. I have close my account about one year and half ago. I am very happy. I don´t need a social network to know new people. I will know through the ordinary way. I preserve my privacy. I prefer to be my own me, then try to be other person, to have digital friends. I prefer few, but good friends and to life. My real friends i have knew through life, school, etc…
I prefer life bring me the things or people is much better. The unknown is what keep the life beautiful, learn about what happens, try to fix or don´t repeat the mistake.Per example i have learn a lesson while i was in facebook for 2 years, that is be yourself and don´t try to do things that you can regret, only to be part of a group of people that don´t exist. Your real friends care about you, only for what you are, not for what you not are. Be genuine. Is better we know a person or things by our selfs. Life give us so many answers and beautiful, that with that facebook preocupations, we can´t enjoy the real life.
