https://www.facebook.com/notes/faceb...52304935685301 Facebook said it wanted a "more meaningful" way for users to give feedback.
The site has also proposed combining information across its other services, such as photo-sharing app Instagram.
Facebook said a vote into the changes could take place, but more than 300m users would need to participate.
Under the site's rules, votes have an effect only if 30% of the user base has taken part. The site recently announced its one billionth sign-up.
A campaign opposing the changes and calling for more transparency has been launched.
