Americans Worry About Personal Information On Social Networking Sites
One-out-of-two Americans now use some sort of social networking site such as Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn or Twitter, but an overwhelming majority of Adults are concerned about the safety of personal information on these sites.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of American Adults say they now belong to a social networking site. Forty-eight percent (48%) do not. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
In January 2009, just 29% said they belonged to a social networking site such as Myspace, Facebook or LinkedIn. That survey did not mention Twitter in the question.
Adults 40 and under are much more likely to be members of such sites than those who are older.
