Facebook Inc. executives have set up a meeting this week with U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has been publicly pushing the social networking site to change its privacy policy.

Andrew Noyes, a spokesman for Facebook, told Computerworld late today that the company has scheduled a meeting with Schumer. He declined to say when the meeting will be held.

Facebook executives said earlier they had been unsuccessful in efforts to meet with Schumer, who has been publicly pushing the social networking site to revise its privacy policy.

A source close to the situation told Computerworld today that Facebook contacted Schumer's office last weekend and today seeking to set up a meeting to discuss his concerns about the privacy of user information on social networks.
