Perhaps not the best timing for Facebook, but great timing for those looking for more profile on the whole issue of privacy and how it is approached by Facebook. The European activistseurope-v-facebook.org, led by a group of Austrian students, say that they have reached the 7,000-comment threshold needed in response to a Facebook privacy proposal that will force the company to take it to a worldwide vote.Specifically, if you go to Facebook's English-language Data Use Policy page where it has detailed the new proposals, there are now over 9,000 comments on the post. The proposal, you can see, has some XXX's at the top: that's because it is due to close this evening, at 5pm Pacific time (yes, more business as usual at Facebook, despite the fact that it also happens to be going through the biggest IPO ever in tech history).
