ALRIGHT ALL YOU FACEBOOK
USERS... THE SOCIAL NETWORKING
SITE IS
TAKING YOUR VOTE ON A RECENT
POLICY CHANGE, SO IF YOU HAVE
SOMETHING TO
SAY ABOUT IT...NOW'S YOUR
CHANCE. WE'RE TELLING YOU HOW
IN TONIGHT'S
DAILY DOT COM.
< First, things first ...
Rewind to about two weeks ago
when
Facebook announced yet another
update to its policy changes.
The more controversial of those
changes includes killing the
user veto.
That's the rule that that says
if seven thousand people comment
on a proposed policy change,
the change must be submitted to
a vote. Now you're up to
speed...
So let's get into specifics...
As it stands every time Facebook
proposes any
major changes to its privacy
policies, the company's
Statement of Rights and
Responsibilities requires those
changes be put to a vote.
It's a democracy, of sorts, the
company instituted back in April
of 2009.
Today it argues its billion plus
user base is too large so the
system no longer makes sense.
Voting just started today, but
for it to become binding,
Facebook requires "more than 30
percent of all active registered
users" to participate. You have
until december 10th at noon to
sound off. The company says
it's sending out an email to all
of its users specifically for
voting. Users can join a live
webcast tomorrow, during which
Facebook reps will answer
questions.
FACEBOOK IS ALSO LOOKING TO
LOOSENING RESTRICTIONS ON
WHO CAN MESSAGE YOU ON FACEBOOK
AND SHARING MORE OF YOUR USER
DATA
OVER OTHER FACEBOOK OWNED
ENTITIES LIKE INSTAGRAM.

ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE, LIZABETH
SAYS "GOD IS THE ONLY ONE THAT
KNOWS WHEN
THE END OF TIME IS YOU JUST HAVE
TO BE READY AND HAVE FAITH IN
HIM."
JAMES ADDING SOME HUMOR ON THE
SUBJECT WHEN HE WRITES, "SO IF
WE
ARE IN THE CENTRAL TIME ZONE,
DOES THAT MEAN EASTERN TIME
ZONES WILL GO
FIRST?"
ANOTHER VIEWER WRITES, "PEOPLE
WENT INSANE AND BANKRUPT WITH
THE
Y2K BUG."
but STEVEN IS A LITTLE
SKEPTICAL, "YOU THINK NASA WOULD
TELL US THE
TRUTH IF THEY NOTICED SOMETHING
ODD OR THAT THE WORLD MIGHT
END?"
WHILE , KHADIYA SAYS, "WE
WILL--OR WON'T SEE WHAT HAPPENS
IN 18 DAYS."
THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK!
