Facebook Democracy

In light of the recent public outrage at Facebook's change of terms of service, the online networking giant has decided to let the public decide the wording of the controversial terms of service. Users' pages are now stamped with a message linked to a blog post from founder Mark Zuckerberg announcing suggested changes to how Facebook may be governed in the future.

Two documents, called "Facebook Principles" and "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities" have been posted for user review and comment. These will not go into effect until they have been voted upon and changed by the users. The comment period closes at 12:01 am Pacific Time on March 29.

So if you think the terms of service affect your interests in the Facebook community then go ahead and cast in your vote!
