Facebook has been in the news a lot lately. It started with the announcement that over 87 million Facebook users had their personal information shared with the private firm Cambridge Analytica without their knowledge. Since then, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has testified twice in front of the US Congress and people all around the world have been talking about Facebook\u2019s data practices. We took this opportunity to survey people on how they felt about Facebook these days. 47,000 people responded to our survey. The data is interesting and open for your exploration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The top takeaways? Most people (76%<\/a>) say they are very concerned about the safety of their personal information online. Yet few people (24%<\/a>) reported making changes to their Facebook accounts following the recent news of privacy concerns around Facebook. The majority of people who responded to our survey (65%<\/a>) see themselves\u200a\u2014\u200arather than companies or the government\u200a\u2014\u200aas being most responsible for protecting their personal information online. And very few people (only 12%<\/a>) said they would consider paying for Facebook, even a version of Facebook that doesn\u2019t make money by collecting and selling personal data.<\/p>\n
