On Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 9:34 p.m. EST, I received the
following message via email from Facebook:
Subject: Updates to Data Use Policy and Statement of
Rights and Responsibilities
We recently announced some proposed
updates to our Data Use Policy, which explains how we collect and use data when
people use Facebook, and our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (SRR),
which explains the terms governing use of our services. The updates provide you
with more detailed information about our practices and reflect changes to our
products, including:
-New tools for managing your
Facebook Messages;
-Changes to how we refer to certain
products;
-Tips on managing your timeline;
and
-Reminders about what's visible to
other people on Facebook.
We are also proposing changes to
our site governance process for future updates to our Data Use Policy and SRR.
We deeply value the feedback we receive from you during our comment period but
have found that the voting mechanism created a system that incentivized
quantity of comments over the quality of them. So, we are proposing to end the
voting component in order to promote a more meaningful environment for
feedback. We also plan to roll out new engagement channels, including a feature
for submitting questions about privacy to our Chief Privacy Officer of Policy.
We encourage you to review these
proposed changes and give us feedback before we finalize them. Please visit the
"Documents" tab of the Facebook Site Governance Page https://www.facebook.com/fbsitegovernance
to learn more about these changes and to submit comments before 9:00 a.m. PST
on November 28, 2012.
You can also follow and like the
Site Governance Page for updates on this process and on any future changes to
our Data Use Policy or SRR.
It is important to share your thoughts and concerns with
Facebook in the event that they actually take user feedback into account. We’ll
see.
