Have your say on Facebook privacy policy You get a vote on whether to accept Facebook's revised policies, thanks to the efforts of a European activist. Max Schrems, an Austrian law student, managed to trigger a vote, capitalizing on Facebook's own stated policy by drumming up comments on the policy. The policy states: "We will give you seven (7) days to provide us with comments on the change. If we receive more than 7,000 comments concerning a particular change, we will put the change up for a vote. The vote will be binding on us if more than 30% of all active registered users as of the date of the notice vote. Well, Schrems said on site Europe versus Facebook that comments came from 40,000 users -- well over the stated threshold. So you've got a week to register your vote. To vote, you click here. There's a bit of a catch, though. As stated above, the vote is binding only if more than 30% of all active registered users vote. If there's less than that, the vote will only be "advisory." So, if my math is correct, that means about 270,000,000 users need to vote for it to stick. This is the second time users have gotten to vote on Facebook policy. Of course, this could be the last time, if you read between the lines. While the company announced the vote, which ends on June 8 at 9 a.m. PDT, it went on to say farther down, "We plan to review this process in the coming months, particularly in light of the current notice, comment and vote process, to determine whether it appropriately reflects the growth of our community and business and to ensure it still serves its original purpose." In fact, it presages change, saying that, while the way Facebook allows for user participation "may change, our commitment to greater transparency, accountability and responsiveness will not." Facebook's Chief Privacy Officer for Policy Erin Egan told TechCrunch that the company will discuss altering the site governance voting system to discourage votes being fomented by "low-quality comments and adapt to the growing size of Facebook's user base." The company said it will "explore" ways for management to get user suggestions and concerns. The changes users are voting on include revisions and clarifications on how your personal data are used, how long Facebook hangs on to them and how apps and external sites access and use your Facebook information.
