More than a quarter (26 percent) of Facebook users in the United States said that they had deleted Facebook applications from their phones in the past year. The data was obtained from a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center this summer.
A larger percentage, 42 percent, said that they did not open Facebook for several weeks or more. And, 54 percent said that they had adjusted their privacy settings in the past year.
Quoted from Recode, Friday (7/9), this happened as a kind of counter-attack on social media. There is an idea that now is a bad time to use Facebook because companies do not take user privacy seriously, especially in relation to the Cambridge Analytica case.
Younger Facebook users also said they deleted the Facebook application. The numbers are more than older users.
About 44 percent of users aged 18 to 29 said they deleted the Facebook application last year. More than 12 percent of users aged 65 years and over.
However, the survey does not seem to have a dramatic effect on the size of Facebook's audience. The basis of Facebook's daily active users in the US and Canada remains at around 185 million in four quarters.
The survey was conducted on 4,594 United States adults, from May 29 to June 11, 2018.
