Online privacy groups Electronic Privacy Information Center and Center for Digital Democracy have written a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking him to abandon proposed changes to the social network’s privacy policies.

Online privacy groups Electronic Privacy Information Center and Center for Digital Democracy have written a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg asking him to abandon proposed changes to the social network’s privacy policies.

Facebook proposed making changes to its privacy policy last week. Users would no longer have the opportunity to vote on proposed changes and privacy practices for Facebook and Instagram would be combined.

Earlier this year, when Facebook received more than 7,000 comments opposing then-proposed changes to its privacy practices, the company complained that the comments were simply cut-and-paste memes and did not constitute meaningful user input.
