Following the major controversy that recently occurred, Facebook has now asked its 175 million users to help out with the way things are run by discussing, reviewing, and voting on the website rules.

While others speculate that this change of heart has come about because Facebook wants to regain their users’ trust, the company says it is about them trusting the users.

The company has released drafts of two fresh documents, which are apparently a set of guidelines to help both the website, as well as the users. In these documents, they have emphasized that all the users own any content uploaded, and that it will not be used even after members quit the service.

Joining the race is Yahoo, and they are creating a customer a customer advocacy group, as they want to be more involved with what users want. Even Wikipedia has introducing something which is called a Community Voice Project which helps build consensus and the public’s opinion.

Although Facebook is making all these upcoming changes known, it is still unclear as to how many users actually want to be involved in governing the site. Facebook says that at least 30% of the users need to vote in order for the rules to apply.
