The question isn't whether Facebook *has* a foreign policy. The question is whether it *should* given that it is deriving the authority for "a foreign policy" from its 600 million plus members, but has no democratic procedures or even basic due process in place. It's like a principality or city-state of the Middle Ages.

Back in 2008, when Facebook only had 69 million members, I said "we are not 69 million of anything" and I called out Zuckerberg's utopian plans to leverage his control over this crowd for his brand of politics, in his infamous interview with Sara Lacey:

Among the more dubious ideas he had at that time was that his very service would help convert militant young men in the Middle East ready to fight or commit terrorism into docile socializers as they "get connected" and found there is "something more" than violence. It was a facile take on a complex situation. He didn't anticipate that it wasn't socializing and consuming they'd use Facebook for, but revolution.

As for China, if you put it to a vote of the 600 plus million, most likely they'd opt for non-interference in people's political expression on Facebook and urge resistance to China's authoritarian control of the Internet. But it doesn't work that way -- they don't have a say.

Zuckerberg, to keep the market share, might opt to accommodate the Chinese government.

Right now Facebook is lobbying against the Stop Online Piracy Act because it doesn't want to have to disrupt its California Business Model, which involves looking the other way as users of the free service upload infringing content -- and then either buy currency or click on ads or provide marketing data.

Study what Zuckerberg says carefully in that interview with Sarah Lacy in 2008 (it was overlooked in the drama of her other blunt questions he failed to answer about his company's valuation -- leading to a firestorm of criticism and even harassment of her, and indulgence of him by the tech gang at SWSX).

He believes that he can harness users to fight the FARC, for example, someting that some people criticized because it was misleading and possibly dangerous.

Facebook policy are quite well written and they should cover all country policies and rules.

Facebook is not anymore USA or EU bu worldwide as said "CATHERINE A. FITZPATRICK". So which policy to do when some country have not much ?

Not an easy way to handle too.

Look what's happen this year in maghreb. It a lot of help by Facebook & Twitter.
Not sure which policy will good or not but freedom of population is good way to think about it.

We need to accept that Facebook needs a focused foreign policy, and we should encourage them to adopt it to be US will not necessarily translate to a popular policy worldwide. Only when we appreciate the influence Facebook has will we be able to fully utilize the social network to bring about social change.

They probably should get one before the reported IPO and before Google+ catches up with them - if + actually ever catches on in a big way.

Ofc there are certain rules Facebook has for every country when it operate (as you know it is even blocked in some countries, along with twitter and couple of other social services). I think they have some kind department with essay writers who closely cooperate with lawyers. Lawyers are checking the laws of every country, especially the parts were they talk about personal information sharing limitations and advertisements. Would be cool to take an inside look on how it works ^^

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter can help to make positive changes in the world that's for sure. Should definitely be taking advantage of these platforms available. 4g phones

Organizers from all around the world are using Facebook to rally millions of people to protest against their government, groups like the farc, etc. Social media tools are empowering them in new areas of advocacy while still keeping a low profile.

Facebook and Twitter have done a lot of great things for society. They also do a lot of harm in certain instances. It all depends on how the social platforms are used. There are many people getting into hot water because of the rapid spreading viral nature of these sites. pimples on face Many years ago the only ones informed about certain topics were those reading about them in a newspaper. Now whenever some news breaks it can be in front of millions of people within minutes. This is not just with twitter and facebook but also google trends and yahoo trends and social bookmarking websites as well.

Facebook is growing rapidly over the last few years. It changed how the world interact with each other. More surprisingly, it has influenced the lives of different people. Nowadays, you can go to Facebook and check out fan pages that interests you, may it be phone applications, chiropractic marketing, beauty products, gadgets, hobbies, etc.. Facebook is really powerful that people can no longer live without it...

I admit, facebook impact is extraordinary. coonecting really genuine people. real impact has occurred in the middle east, starting a wave of demonstrations of communication between humans the same boat. Now Zuckerberg has studied Mandarin in order that could destabilize the country to revolt china as a country that has been devastated because of facebook with a western-style democracy american language

There should not be too many policy reason this will drive alot of confusion / hatred / disagreement into the social media. Have you ever asked what if one policy allow advertising to be place all over facebook and require you to accept ? Will this be great? Will you even want to use facebook anymore ? What's more Making money on the internet is a difficult test for most people...a test that they usually fail! since facebook is so open a good rule is to take moderate measure for all countries to accept the usage of facebook own policy.

If Facebook has foreign policy it would be having something akin to open borders. Since profit is the driving force of Zuckerberg’s creation he will focus on gaining more users. It is said that Facebook is going tor each a billion active users soon. But the world population is 7 billion and the number of adults capable of using a computer and has access to Internet exceeds 3 billion and could even be around 4 billion. With the number of developers trying to create the perfect match for Facebook, Zuckerberg should focus on gaining more user accounts and how to keep them.

Chinese are still using facebook and Zuckerberg has studied Mandarin in order that could destabilize the country to revolt china as a country.
