Facebook said today that it’s going to let users vote on the changes to its privacy policy that it announced just before its IPO. It’s the second time that Facebook has done this, and also might be the last.
The changes in question would allow Facebook to tailor ads to you using your social behaviours, and show you ads on external websites. Pretty much, anything you like or link or share would be used to market to you.
The voting starts today, and runs through June 8 at 9AM PDT. You can cast your vote here. The process is working similarly to the way it did in 2009, but in its statement today, Facebook said that it’s going to “review this process in the coming months … to determine whether it appropriately reflects the growth of our community and business and to ensure it still serves its original purpose.” Which certainly sounds like it could mean the votes have become too much of a hassle for the now-public company.

If people want privacy then don’t use Facebook?
So now that Facebook’s gone public, they’re going to reduce the public’s input? Sounds about right.
How can you not trust those eyes in the headline pic…. Personally I trust the eyes of the person with severe one sided face aging due to the sun more.
This vote seems to be like being asked which pointy stick do you want to be poked with and they are being nice by let you having a choice.
I laugh every time I see the words “Facebook” and “privacy” in the same sentence.
