For the last week denial-of-service attack, facebook also can block the activity that "could disable, overburden, or impair the proper working of Facebook, such as a denial of service attack."Facebook also specified that it has a right to reclaim Facebook vanity URLs due to trademark complaints or even names that do not closely relate to a user's actual name.Facebook also edited edited a line that said, "we do not give your content or information to advertisers without your consent."


The change don't autometically efect the rights,User will vote for this until Aug. 18 at 12 p.m. Pacific time.Facebook's democratic approach was announced in February over change to it's TOS(Terms Of Service).The site decided that if a particular topic attracted more than 7,000 user comments, Facebook would put that topic up for a vote. A vote would be binding if more than 30 percent of all active registered users voted.

The first Vote – lasted from April 17 to April 23.It only attracted 600,000 of Facebook's now 250 million users. Moreover, by this we notice a positive democretic approach of Facebook which is appriciatable.
