After an extended comment period and a few revisions, Facebook is ready to adopt a new "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities" and data use policy. The public comment period is over for the changes, but Facebook has decided to put it to a vote of its users. Any Facebook member can use the company's custom "Site Governance Vote" app to choose whether they'd prefer the new policies or the old. Facebook has provided a rundown of the changes to the SRR and the data use policy for your weekend perusal.
In order for the vote to be binding, 30 percent of active, registered users will need to take part in the vote. Given that Facebook touts 900 million members, our hunch is that whatever the result of the voting is, it will be "advisory"...
