You Have One Week To Vote On Facebook's Future. Here's How.

Starting now, Facebook's billion users around the world have one last opportunity to preserve their power to vote on changes to how the site uses their personal data. At 3 p.m. eastern today, spokesman Elliott Schrage announced via a blog post on Facebook's site governance page that users will have until 3 p.m. eastern on Dec. 10 to vote on a set of proposed changes to its Data Use Policy and Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Basically, those are its privacy policy and terms of service. And the most interesting and sweeping of the proposed changes is one that would effectively end Facebook's three-year experiment in democracy.
