We needn’t have worried. The adoption of the new policy lost by a landslide: 90 percent of voters were against the new data policy that Facebook needed to survive. But . . . almost nobody voted. Not even close to 30 percent of users. As such, the voting result was “taken under advisement”—by which we mean “ignored.” And be grateful we did; Facebook would be in trouble right now otherwise, as the company-saving products that launched later would have been impossible under the old data policy.
Eh, yeah, not so grateful. Would have been happy to see fb fall—and global worker productivity immediately rise!
