Facebook can make policy changes without user approval, after voting ends
Posted: 12/11/2012
Facebook now has the power to change its policies without user approval, ABC News reports.
A week-long open vote on proposed policy changes ended Monday.
Proposed changes included doing away with the voting system and changing how data is shared.
300 million votes were needed for results to be binding--that's at least 30 percent of users.
However, not even one million members participated.
Facebook will announce what happens next soon, according to the official Facebook site governance page.
