Facebook Calls Emergency Privacy Meeting

Social media juggernaut facing user heat over concerns

Facebook – which has appeared to be somewhat bulletproof in its previous missteps — is facing a huge problem.

Some of its 400 million users are outraged over the company’s absurdly long, confusing default, “opt-in” policy on privacy – and founder Mark Zuckerberg’s reported admission that he “doesn’t care” about your privacy, anyway.

So much so, they’ve launched a campaign (and Web site, Facebookprotest.com) urging Facebookers to log off the site on June 6 to show Zuckerberg and co. their disdain.

“On the 6th, be sure to not use Facebook connect or click any “Like” buttons: basically refrain from ALL Facebook related activity.
