Facebook opens polls, users vote against privacy-policy changes

Twenty-four hours after Facebook opened the polls, more than 100,000 users have cast their votes 10 to 1 against Facebook's proposed changes to its policies. That includes a proposal that would do away with Facebook users' right to vote on future changes.

Hoping to get out the vote, the Electronic Privacy Information Center and the Center for Digital Democracy have joined forces with Facebook critic Julius Harper. They say they are campaigning to raise awareness about the vote. "We are making good progress," said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. Most Facebook users don’t seem to know that a vote is taking place.
