Facebook Site Governance Vote  FB is letting people vote on whether future changes to its policy can be voted upon. If you're interested go to that link and click "keep existing documents"
I did! Even though I did not understand why it was important, even after reading some articles on the subject.

Hey Teeps. Yeah in such a large company the legal stuff gets very abstruse but I figure if we have the ability to vote on things in some ways why let it go. I'm not sure enough people will get to hear of this to make a difference (they're saying they want 30% of active users to vote to keep the existing documents!)

I think Facebook has pretty much passed its peak, and something else will soon be along... I can't be bothered to play along with these pretenses of user governance. I'm hanging by a thin thread these days!

For those of you kinda confused about what the deal is, here's an article that helps explain - the most important part for me was:

The new SRR removes this option for amendments, so under the new SRR, you'll have no option to push for this type of vote. In effect, this vote is for you to maintain the option to vote on changes to how Facebook governs the social network.

Interesting "gotcha" of a sort with the vote. You have to have Applications enabled on Facebook in order to vote. I, myself, don't enable Apps on Facebook.

Thanks for the summary about this. I heard only part of the newscast on NPR and wasn't clear about the topic.
