Poll: Would you fork out for a paid version of Facebook?

Sheryl Sandberg said Facebook doesn’t have an opt-out button at the highest level saying, “that would be a paid product”.

SPEAKING IN A congressional testimony this week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, “There will always be a version of Facebook that is free.”

The phrasing raised questions as to whether the company is considering a paid version.

In an interview with NBC, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said allowing Facebook users to opt out of sharing their information with advertisers would require a paid model.

However, she didn’t say that any such change was forthcoming.

So in today’s poll we’re asking, would you pay for a paid version of Facebook?

No  (10002)
