Facebook criticised over decision to stop public privacy votes ⇢

Facebook is set to remove the ability for users to vote on changes to its data privacy policy, in a move that has angered campaigners.

In an email to all members, Facebook said it wanted a “more meaningful” way for users to give feedback.

The site has also proposed combining information across its other services, such as photo-sharing app Instagram.
