Considerando el uso frecuente de internet y el avance de la tecnología, he notado cambios fehacientes en la manera de catalogar la información y sus diversos criterios. A lo largo de los años me he dado cuenta que la información ha ido perdiendo su valor, y es necesario que empecemos a gestionarla. Las personas que me conocen saben que soy meticuloso, y por lo cual esto me llevo a reflexionar que cuanto más información, mucha otra se pierde.
En internet he visto espacios como twitter o Facebook, donde diariamente los usuarios comentan sus actividades diarias o información relacionada al interés general, pero ¿Cuánta de esta información sirve para algo y cuanta llega al receptor? Lo más importante de todo antes de detenerse a pensar si es importante, es entender si llega al receptor. Estimo que mucha información se pierde proporcionalmente a la cantidad de lazos que existen entre los usuarios. Mientras más cantidad de personas se tienen en una red, seguramente prestemos atención a una minoría y estemos perdiendo a otros con información trascendental.
Es sustancial tratar este tema, porque de este modo es una forma de entender que mientras más información se origine, mucha se vuelve basura o se recicla.

Many of us at Facebook spent most of today discussing how best to move forward. One approach would have been to quickly amend the new terms with new language to clarify our positions further. Another approach was simply to revert to our old terms while we begin working on our next version. As we thought through this, we reached out to respected organizations to get their input.

Going forward, we’ve decided to take a new approach towards developing our terms. We concluded that returning to our previous terms was the right thing for now. As I said yesterday, we think that a lot of the language in our terms is overly formal and protective so we don’t plan to leave it there for long.

More than 175 million people use Facebook. If it were a country, it would be the sixth most populated country in the world. Our terms aren’t just a document that protect our rights; it’s the governing document for how the service is used by everyone across the world. Given its importance, we need to make sure the terms reflect the principles and values of the people using the service.

Our next version will be a substantial revision from where we are now. It will reflect the principles I described yesterday around how people share and control their information, and it will be written clearly in language everyone can understand. Since this will be the governing document that we’ll all live by, Facebook users will have a lot of input in crafting these terms.

You have my commitment that we’ll do all of these things, but in order to do them right it will take a little bit of time. We expect to complete this in the next few weeks. In the meantime, we’ve changed the terms back to what existed before the February 4th change, which was what most people asked us for and was the recommendation of the outside experts we consulted.

If you’d like to get involved in crafting our new terms, you can start posting your questions, comments and requests in the group we’ve created—Facebook Bill of Rights and Responsibilities. I’m looking forward to reading your input.
