>They ran a study across 1000 Americans who are "representative of the US population in gender and age."
>"Privacy matters to our panelists. Thirty-six percent said they are very concerned about it and another 41% saying they are somewhat concerned.
Their behavior on Facebook has somewhat changed due to their privacy concerns. Seventeen percent deleted their Facebook app from their phone, 11% deleted from other devices, and 9% deleted their account altogether. These numbers might not worry Facebook too much, but there are less drastic steps users are taking that should be worrying as they directly impact Facebook’s business model"
I for one keep my account because it became a social ID. But it practically has no meaningful personal data other than my name & contacts.
It is a matter of slow death...
Society probably shouldn't use social media at all. Facebook has every intent on making its use a social norm.
I had 300 Facebook friends before I deleted my account a couple of days ago, and I didn't see that number decrease. Neither did I hear anything from the decent number of infosec friends who you would expect to be the first to delete their accounts.
Of course that's anecdotal, but 10% seems very high.
