      Currency: This article is not too old or out-dated that it can be used as an useful source. It is 2014, so some researcher might bash it but I do feel the information is reliable and gives numerical statistic on what users were affected by Privacy dilemmas on Facebook.

  • "Although the Facebook quitters of the present sample represented only a very small amount of all Facebook users, many of them seemed to be concerned about privacy to such an extent that it outweighed perceived advantages of Facebook and eventually led them to quit their virtual Facebook identity," Stieger and his co-authors said in an article entitled "Who Commits Virtual Identity Suicide?"published on Wednesday.

  • Among those saying they were quitting Facebook, almost half were leaving because of privacy concerns.
    • Sherrise Linton
       
      Purpose: The main argument here is the privacy issue on Facebook is what is forcing users to leave not what Facebook content provides. Its the lack of safety of one's profile, number, age, and location that Facebook has out there to the web. Then when it comes to cleaning up your page to get  job it never goes away.

    This Article focuses on Facebook users and quitters due to the fact of feeling as though it is "virtual identity suicide". This article goes on to prove the that fact that Facebook and other socail medias can be a danger to your future career goals. Users are left with a lot of vent-like post that are taken out of content and held against them in the end.
