The latest ‘Econsultancy’ blog post is titled “Facebook ditches democracy: what it means for marketers”.

Patricio Robles says, “In 2009, perhaps motivated in part by its past privacy blunders, Facebook decided to do what few companies its size would ever consider: allow its users to have a say in how the social network was governed.

Over 600,000 Facebook users participated in the company’s inaugural vote, although it noted that this represented a “small” fraction of its user base, which numbered just 200m at the time. But the company was excited about its democratic direction, writing “We are hopeful that there will be greater participation in future votes.””.
