Facebook has announced plans to remove the option for user votes inimportant site decisions.
User voting was introduced in 2009, but has seen very little user input
and represents a very small percentage of active users. In a post on the
company blog announcing the change, VP Elliot Schrage said the process
was being abandoned ‘in favour of a system that leads to more meaningful
feedback and engagement.’
The blog post also promised users new ways to field their queries and
input on the site, including live online events and an opportunity to
post questions to the Facebook chief privacy officer.
