11 Million users have quit smoking using the privacy on Facebook

A recent report by the Daily Mail revealed that because of privacy issues, Facebook users are leaving the social platform at a rate alarming.


A research report has revealed that approximately 11 million users have left Facebook and this figure has 9 million of the United States and about 2 million of Great Britain.


Researchers from the University of Vienna analyzed approximately 600 users of Facebook, and they discovered the following reasons why they left the social platform.

Privacy, 48.3%Superficial conversation, 12.6%Afraid to get a dependency, 6 percentGeneral dissatisfaction, 13.5%Studies show that the majority of users who leave are male aged.

Facebook like some of the other technological giants has been criticized for the lack of privacy for users and returning information of thousands of users to the Government. In August of this year, Infowars has revealed that the authorities of Facebook gave information of approximately 38 000 users in 74 countries. Half of these inquiries have come to the United States.


Technology giants cannot reveal the exact amount of the information that they gave because they have been banned by the Government to do so. However, companies like Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have now gone for a strong alliance and are retaliation on this issue.


This alliance is put under pressure by the FISA court by the movements of housing demand to the Tribunal to give the exact figures of the demand of the intelligence agency rather than give approximations.


The general counsel of Facebook said they believe information are delivered to the public, so that they can discuss on the subject if the Government security programs are properly balance the interests of the privacy of persons while attempting to security measures for them.


The editor-in-Chief of the journal of Psychology Cyber where conclusions on this issue have been published said that after the revelations by WikiLeaks and reports about the NSA programs, people become more aware and more concerned about their problems of privacy in cyberspace.


Facebook is also examined closely political recently released rights in which they said that information from a user as well as access to its image could be used as an advertisement on other sites for their friends to see.


Well, you can say that the concerns of users associated with the protection of privacy on the social platform is entirely justified. Where your information is collected via Facebook, the prism of the NSA program can surely do so via other means such as via cellular data or by e-mail.
