At the beginning of this month, that Facebook was giving its users the opportunity to vote up or down on changes to its privacy policy.
Voting closed today and when it described the results: "Facebook Election Is a Bust: 0.00038% of Users Voted On Privacy Change," was its headline.
Most of the users who voted chose to keep the existing privacy policy.
Of course, none of this means anything, because Facebook said the vote was would only be binding if 30 percent of all "active, registered users vote."
