Social Media Privacy: A Contradiction In Terms? - 1 views

  • Social Media Privacy: A Contradiction In Terms?
  • A 2001 UCLA report, for instance, found high levels of consumer concern over online privacy in general and credit card security in particular.
  • In a Euro RSCG global survey conducted among 7,213 adults in 19 countries, we found that 55% of respondents are worried that “technology is robbing us of our privacy”; the figure was above 60% in a number of countries, including the United States and China. Similarly, 61% overall agreed “People share too much about their personal thoughts and experiences online; we need to go back to being more private.”

  • Nearly half the sample (47%)—and a majority of millennials—worry that friends or family will share inappropriate personal information about them online.
  • “Facebook is a relatively young company. It’s not surprising that we found some room for improvement.”
  • Today, we happily share our date and place of birth, name of our first pet, mother’s maiden name, favorite movie or book, favorite color, first school teacher
  • Of even greater concern to many is the amount and variety of information being gathered about us without our explicit permission
  • these people typically are eager to share their thoughts via comment sections on news sites, reviews on retail sites, and in branded clubs and forums.

      it is amazing that 55% of respondents are worried of "technology robbing us of our privacy" yet facebook has billions of users and so does many other social media sites. If people are so worried, why do they have an account?

      I believe this is Relevance, it shows many facts and statistics that explain why privacy is such an issue on social media sites today and could be useful when preparing a presentation or paper with these articles.
