Social media site calls for feedback on privacy policy


Facebook has asked users to browse through updates to the social networking site's privacy policy and submit feedback.
Facebook has released a restructured version of its privacy policy and has asked users to submit feedback about the online document.
Elliot Schrage, vice-president of communications and public policy, highlighted a number of updates that have been made, including notes on advertising on the social networking site.
The document also states how long back-up information will be kept for and features notes on the removal of content that has been shared.
Mr Schrage said: "Our primary goals remain transparency and readability, which is why we've used plain language and included numerous examples to help illustrate our points."
He pointed out that earlier this year Facebook became the first company to govern its policy by inviting comments and holding votes with its users for changes in regulations.
This week, the social media service called for people to report any abuse that they receive or notice online and stated that cyber-bullying cannot be tolerated by communities.
