Okay to be honest I'm getting annoyed with Facebook, with people talking to me, Kony 2012, "most beautiful teenager", I just want to deactivate it, and maybe come back after a while, only problem is ever since September of 2010 my friends and I have been commenting on this picture which now almost has one hundred thousand comments and I really don't want everything I've said on there to disappear forever. Will my comments come back when I do? Is there some sort of "if your back within a week" they'll come back or could I stay away for months and months and then finally come back a while from now and still have them there? Anything helps, thanks so much.

When you deactivate your account, your profile and all its associated information are immediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users. Although this means that you effectively disappear from the service, your information will remain saved by Facebook so that you can reactivate your account whenever you want after 24 hours have passed since the deactivation.

If you deactivate your facebook, it becomes dormant. You can reactivate it using the email you log in to facebook with. You won't receive any comments or messages, no one can see your profile. Everything will remain the same but no one can view it, including you. Once you reactivate it, you can pick up where you left off. I belive the only thing that changes when you deactivate and reactivate is that it doesn't save your email notification settings or your privacy settings. So once you reactivate it, if you choose to, you have to go and edit those the way you want them again. Otherwise, your profile is preserved.

when you go to account settings

and click the deactivation option

you get many options there..

so you choose I'll be back after a while (something like that)

i did this twice..

i deactivated it during my exams ( choose the above option if not if you choose something else it will permanently delete) and after that i typed my Id and password and reactivated it :)

its easy !!

Kony is the object being used to create a scam.

"Kony" needs to be a word you cannot post on Yahoo! Answers.



Every time you post a question about this, you are being used.

Someone needs to list each of the members of this group and post them, publicly, so that people can decide if they EVER want ANY of them working for them again. The ethics of this group are HIGHLY questionable based on their behavior.



They are making money on the kits.

They paid themselves MASSIVE salaries for doing the video.

They are making money on the advertising on various sites including YouTube.

They are making money on sites AGAINST KONY 2012 that they create.

They are making money and you folks are the suckers EVERY time you start a post.

They are making money in all directions - this is a well-thought out scam. You are being used.

THEY MAKE MONEY RESELLING THEIR OWN KITS AFTER SAYING THEY WERE SOLD OUT!



DON'T buy the kits.

DON'T watch the video.

DON'T post questions or posts about it except to answer posts with "Stop posting about this scam".

DON'T participate except to shame the scammers.



The movement is under investigation.

Don't watch the video, you just end up giving money to them for the advertising funds they receive and the scam goes on. You are being used for even that.



Please, everyone, stop posting about this. You're being used. There are more than 400 open questions about Kony on this site. They are USING you.



And if you are spamming for them, thank you for giving us the forum for ANSWERING with the facts. It will not work, we are on to you.



If Kony 2012 hadn't spammed us all to death with this garbage, they wouldn't be facing this.



We're SO tired of them. NOBODY post any question about KONY.

DO respond to every single one telling them to SHUT UP!



We're being scammed and spammed, massively. You should all respond and let people know every time they post this nonsense.



The video lies and distorts multiple issues.

I think it is a closed issue. Why wouldn't we attack you for participating in this scam and trying to spam us constantly about it?



According to Forbes Magazine:



The video is inaccurate and outdated as Joseph Kony is no longer in the Uganda.

The video oversimplifies the complex history of Uganda and the LRA.

The video does more harm than good by focusing the issue on one man.

The video is a prime example of slactivism that reduces real issue to memes.



The government there is STILL there and just as guilty of atrocities, and now the US is being put into a sovereign country into another war.

I think there is a scam going on and a lot of people are spending money on a scam.



He fled his country a long time ago. This is a money-making scheme.

Also listen to people from Uganda:

We are REALLY tired of this garbage.



If they hadn't spammed every site they could find, pretending to be things they weren't, they might have received a reasonable reception.



It is propaganda on a while new level:

http://vigilantcitizen.com/vigilantreport/kony-2012-state-propaganda-for-a-new-generation/



On Yahoo! Answers "Invisible Children" and their supporters CONSISTENTLY posted, every few minutes in areas like Fashion, or Games, about KONY 2012. It was CONTEMPTIBLE and unethical.

They have made millions on this garbage, and TARGETED our children as consumers.



Worse, they started a storm of people saying, "SEE? Christians can be terrorists, too!" But they forget to actually examine his history. He's not Christian. He's Muslim.

It's wrong. They should be investigated for fraud and scamming who knows how many foolish people, particularly teenagers.

Enough of them.
