What is the significance of these numbers? If you guessed “number of words in Facebook’s privacy policy compared to number of words in the US Constitution,” go to the head of the class. As today’s New York Times reported here, the Facebook privacy policy has grown from 1,004 words in 2005 to 5,830 today. Facebook’s privacy policy word count not only has eclipsed the US Constitution, it has also passed other major social networks such as Flickr (384 words), Twitter (1,203), Friendster (1,977), and MySpace (2,290). According to the Times‘ analysis, a Facebook user now needs to click through more than 50 privacy buttons with more than 170 options in order to opt out of full disclosure of his or her personal information. The complexity and arc of the current policy – the evolution of which is neatly summarized here – has driven some interest groups to file a complaint with the FTC. More legal and regulatory action is coming. You can count on it.
