As Company Plagued By Scandals The Pew Research Center reports grim outlook for platform
© press The Pew Research Center report grim outlook for platform Americans are abandoning Facebook in record numbers in the wake of the recent scandals plaguing the company including private user data issues, according to a study. The Pew Research Center reports that 42 percent of US Facebook users said they had "taken a break" from the platform in the past 12 months, while 26 percent said they deleted the Facebook app from their phone. The break from Facebook was far more pronounced it the 18-29 age group, with 44 percent claiming to have deleted the Facebook mobile app. Despite the survey not indicating how many users had actually quit Facebook, the finding suggest that the outlook for the company doesn't look great due to the number of scandals the company has been plagued with.
Significant shares of Facebook users have taken steps in the past year to reframe their relationship with the social media platform," researcher Andrew Perrin said in a blog post. PressTV reports: According to Pew's survey, three-fourths of US Facebook users have taken some steps to change how they interact with Facebook, including more than half who have changed their privacy settings.
Perrin said the concerns about Facebook appeared to transcend political affiliation. "The poll found that nearly identical shares of Democrats and Republicans (including political independents who lean toward either party) use Facebook," he said.
