"30,00 Quit Facebook in Protest" --- http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jaCB4AJAZOL0-9V_md6-Hj8tmrFA

Over 30,000 people have quit Facebook due to its current privacy policy change....again.

I thought this was interesting because it is a good example of how people try to use what power they do have to make changes in programs they use. Facebook does not, by anymeans, have to listen to its users about their preferences but as you can see users will "fight back" to get what they want.

The question will be is 30,000 people enough for Facebook to change its privacy to something that will make its users happy?
