You give kids way too much credit. If all their friends were on Facebook, they’d be on Facebook.
Facebook failed to market effectively to up and coming teenagers, and as a result they have grown up into people who have chosen alternative networks that looked fun and cool, not boring and corporate blue.
No one gives a shit about data.
- robotbikes 8y agoPeople care about their data when it can tangibly affect them. Teens know that their parents or other parents can see their data on Facebook. They are pushed to use their real names and in general the context creep is what drives them away. They may not care about the abstract notion of data in terms of data mining etc but they do care about having what they share being seen by people they don't want it to be seen by.
