Facebook faces privacy exposure

According to the Beijing News, according to foreign media reports said. About half of Facebook users are considering abandoning their use of the social networking site because of privacy concerns, Sophos, the UK's cyber-security firm, published a survey.

About 16% of respondents have stopped using Facebook for privacy issues, Sophos said. According to the survey, about 30% of users are "very likely" to quit Facebook for privacy reasons, while another 30% are "likely" to exit Facebook for the same reason and say that it is unlikely or impossible to exit Facebook, which accounts for 12% of the users.

Graham Cluley, Sophos's technology advisor, said it was shocking that such a high percentage of users said it was "very likely" to exit Facebook. He said it staff were more concerned about Facebook's privacy than those in the non-tech category, "I don't think there is any reason for IT staff to continue using Facebook, and a lot of privacy issues have made more and more users realise that Facebook is no longer suitable for them." Of course, some users will reduce the data they publish on Facebook.

Crowley points out that many users are "addicted" to posting messages on Facebook and that it may be difficult to exit Facebook.

Users ' privacy concerns stem from Facebook's policy of sharing user information with other sites. Ethan Beard, head of Facebook's Isen Burde, argues that users like Facebook's new features and that criticism of new features is not from users.

' Facebook needs a "big turn" on privacy, "says Crowley," and I think Facebook needs to fundamentally change its attitude toward privacy, putting users ' needs first and users don't like being cheated. "
