Selection bias? People concerned with facebook privacy aren't making status updates any more?
- electromagnetic 17y agoIf the people concerned with privacy issues leave the service, doesn't it inherently resolve the issue?
- hugh3 17y agoFor them, yes. For Joe Whoops-I-Didn't-Want-My-Mother-To-Know-I-Was-Gay perhaps not.
- yaroslavvb 17y agoMaybe...also the fact that I have 400 "friends" says something. You can't possibly know that many people well enough to trust them. And the fact that they accepted my friend requests means they didn't care about keeping their information secret in a first place. Maybe it's different for an average user (120 connections apparently), although that still seems too high to share sensitive information.
