Vote To Keep Your Voice In Facebook Decisions
Facebook users have one week to vote on whether the newest proposed privacy policy will be implemented. Unless 30 percent of Facebook's 1 billion users vote, they will lose their right to vote on policy in the future.
As of Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., 95,547 Facebook users voted to keep the existing privacy policy.

The popular social media site proposed a privacy policy that allows users more control with what information is visible.
In an explanation of changes, the Facebook management team makes clear that all users own the content they post and can share the information with the public, their friends or not at all.
The statement says user control is a "key aspect of how Facebook works" and that part of the policy will not change.
Among the USC students asked to be interviewed, all said they had not read the policy.
After being shown the policy, freshman Alex Coco, 17, said he is not concerned about many of the alterations to the privacy policy.
"By its very nature, Facebook is already an invasion of privacy and by choosing to use Facebook," he said. "I make myself subject to this invasion."
Junior Jenay Ross is happy that Facebook is giving her the option of voicing her opinion.
"I think it's a lot better than making the changes under the radar without anyone knowing," she said.
