We recall that a transient change in the conditions of use had caused an outcry, leaving some doubt about a possible takeover of Facebook on the profile data of over 300 million members and their photos. Since that episode occurred early in the year that Facebook has decided to play the card of transparency by soliciting the opinion of its members before making such changes.
