​​🙄Relationship Status with Facebook: It's Complicated! More than a quarter of #Facebook users in the US 🇺🇸 say they have deleted the app from their phones over the past year, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center. - 26% say they have deleted the app from their phones. - 42% say they have taken a break from checking Facebook for several weeks or more. - 54% say they’ve adjusted their privacy settings over the past year. The interesting fact remains that the younger users deleted the app more often the older users. They've also taken more breaks from it. Whether it's sort of a backlash to the idea that #SocialMedia is a poor use of time, or CambridgeAnalytica scandal and/or something else, distancing themselves from Facebook app seems to be a conscious decision. 🚀@PerspectiveIX via Recode. ❓Which group do YOU belong to?
