The upswell of concern relating to Facebook’s Beacon advertising program, including a campaign from Moveon.org may have been successful ,with BusinessWeek reporting that Facebook is discussing changes to the program that could be announced as soon as tomorrow (Nov 29). Facebook executives are said to “deep talks over proposed changes late into the afternoon on Nov. 28.”
Despite its possible lack of concern to the wider community, Facebook’s Beacon program has become a major issue in the tech community, with TechCrunch readers voting strongly in our poll of November 25 that Facebook’s current practices worry them.
