Major Canadian newspaper asks readers if they're quitting Facebook
- acangiano 16y agoWay to spoil the poll by showing the results before voting.
- hugh3 16y agoIt's not like opt-in polls on newspaper websites are particularly statistically valid anyway.
- adammichaelc 16y agoThey have zero validity. Polls that are collected without randomness are completely meaningless.
- pavel_lishin 16y ago> Polls that are collected without randomness are completely meaningless. What?
- nano81 16y agoMeaning the people who take this poll are self-selecting and likely to already be concerned about the things in the media; it is not a random sample of internet users
- acangiano 16y agoOf course, but this is not even trying. :)
- tptacek 16y agoWhat does this story tell us? It's a web poll, so it means literally nothing. So, is the idea that it's interesting that a major newspaper is covering the Facebook privacy story? Because everyone is covering the Facebook privacy story.
