Social Media Privacy Survey

Through Survey Monkey I created a questionnaire on the subject of Social Media Privacy. The survey was designed to gain an insight into the position my friends and family have on the topic.

This multiple choice survey was uploaded to my blog, and shared on one of my social media platforms.

Interestingly, the survey did not receive as much recognition as I would have hoped.

From the results collected social media users prefer to keep their profile as private and are not concerned with their information being stored for the sites use. In relation to employers, social media users do not filter what is posted on their profile and are not concerned with future employers seeing past posts.

"The death of privacy” is an interesting article by Alex Preston. It is a bit lengthy but the overall message that we have signed away our privacy through the use of the Internet links with the findings of the Social Media Privacy survey. Aware that their “communications are being monitored”, users continue to share their complete life from financial interactions to social. As it has become the “norm” less people are concerned.
