To the administrators of Facebook.com on the date of September 5, 2006:

Whereas Facebook.com is a social networking Web site and utility owned as a private company started in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg;

Whereas Facebook.com is a useful and entertaining tool for those on its networks;

Whereas the users on Facebook.com support the sites stated philosophy of helping people spread information through social networks;

Whereas the users on Facebook.com understand the privacy settings and their role in protecting personal, private information;

Whereas drastic changes were make to Facebook.com on September 5, 2006, including the introduction of the News Feed and Mini Feed that call into question the safety and privacy of its more than 9 million users;

Whereas there has been an unprecedented outpouring of opposition to the changes within the community;

Whereas many users feel uncomfortable participating on Facebook.com because of the changes to the point that some have deactivated their accounts;

We, the Facebook.com user community:

--Encourage Facebook.com administrators to actively communicate and consult with users in a democratic dialogue concerning any current and future changes.

AND:

--Demand the immediate removal of the news feed and mini feed feature from Facebook.com.

    • this "mini feed" is not worth the space it takes up. I don't personally care if my friends got a new friend or commented a wall.

    • Why is it my business if my friend "friends" someone else or if my friend joins a group. The "News Feed" is stalker-ish and too much information. Keep this up and it is going to turn people off of facebook and they will leave the site.
