**Facebook has downplayed the significance of a company-wide meeting to discuss privacy issues. Should Facebook rethink its privacy rules? **
The blogosphere described the meeting as a panic measure following weeks of criticism over the way Facebook handles members’ data. Facebook said it was an opportunity for employees “to ask questions on a topic that has received a lot of outside interest”.
The meeting took place after a number of high-profile users deleted their accounts whenthe site introduced a new feature that lets non-Facebook websites, or third parties, post the personal views of Facebook users without their consent.
Several US senators have made public calls for Facebook to rethink its privacy safeguards and earlier this week European data protection officials weighed in on the controversy and called privacy changes “unacceptable”.
**Are you happy with Facebook’s privacy policy? Could more be done to revamp the policy to protect users’ privacy? What changes would you like to see made? **
