The second question asked what their privacy settings on social media<br />

sites were. The responses varied, but a majority (about 66 percent)<br />

have their social media privacy settings on “friends only.” Most people<br />

information to third-party sources. The majority answered that this<br />

practice bothers them, but they still use the websites, while another<br />

16 percent responded the practice is pushing them away from using<br />
