With privacy battle brewing, Facebook won't update policy right away

Facebook will not roll out controversial changes to its policies until next week, the giant social network said.

"We are taking the time to ensure that user comments are reviewed and taken into consideration to determine whether further updates are necessary and we expect to finalize the process in the coming week," Facebook said. Facebook has insisted that it is not changing its policies, just clarifying the language in them. Facebook denied it delayed the policy update. But Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, said Facebook had to delay the update. "Facebook is being forced to justify its latest grab of user data to DC regulators," Chester said.
