They’ll lose the ability to vote on future changes unless 30 percent of all users vote and the majority reject the proposal.

Neil P Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I just voted. There's no chance it gets to 300 million votes, as I was the 560,000th or so vote to keep the current documents. There were maybe 100,000 votes for the new ones. So they'll "take it under consideration" and then do what they want anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrine Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Allow me to put it this way -- if people can't be bothered to vote in the election for their government officials, how can we expect that they would consider taking the few minutes to vote for a Facebook change?
