Facebook has a long history of upsetting its users by suddenly announcing a change to its privacy settings. In 2009, as a way to quiet the critics, Facebook set up a system for its customers to vote on changes. If enough of them were unhappy, the company would back down. Now, Facebook wants to get rid of the voting. This is how Facebook Vice President Elliot Schrage put it in a posting on the company's website: "The voting mechanism... actually resulted in a system that incentivized the quantity of comments over their quality." Instead of having a vote, Schrage said, the company will evaluate comments and suggestions from users. "It's kind of like not liking how people vote in the ballot box and putting in place a suggestion box," he says. Rotenberg directs the Electronic Privacy Information Center, and he doesn't want Facebook to get rid of voting.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
