Facebook Users Voting on Site Governance

In February, Facebook announced that it was opening its site governance to user voting after the new Terms of Service were widely criticized, and were to be the subject of an EPIC complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. Facebook restored the old terms and sought user feedback on the new Facebook Principles and the Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. Voting on the proposed document will end on April 23, 2009. The company reports that the vote requires 70 million voters to be valid.
