PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Everyone seems to keep their head in their phone these days, but a new study shows that not everyone is looking at Facebook.
Was Your Facebook Data Shared With Cambridge Analytica?
While the site is still the most visited site each day, a new study by the Pew Research Center shows that more and more Americans are taking a break from the social networking site.
Pew survey adults across the country for two weeks from May to June and found that:
- 54% of Facebook users have adjusted their privacy settings in the past 12 months
- 42% say they've taken a break from checking the platform for several weeks or more
- 26% say they have deleted the App from their phone
The study found users 29 and younger were most likely to have deleted the App after the Cambridge Analytica report.
