FACEBOOK TO CREATE ‘BILL OF RIGHTS’

Hindustan Times (Delhi edition)

Facebook, angling to turn a recent user rebellion to its own advantage, recently called upon users to help formulate what has been portrayed a kind of “bill of rights” to govern the social networking giant.

The proposed ‘Facebook Principles’ cover topics like “freedom to share and connect,” “fundamental equality” and “ownership and control of information.” Facebook users, now numbering 175 million around the world, are invited to comment and vote on the proposals in “a virtual Town Hall” over the next 30 days.

“This is really a move we’re making because we trust our users,” Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said.
