Is it the end of facebook?

Recently, a company named Sophos conducted a survey and asked about 1600 users of Facebook about privacy concerns. It came out that a significant amount of users of this social networking site, feels concerned about privacy settings. Two thirds, so almost 60% users of Facebook is considering leaving the portal, 16% claims that they stopped using Facebook because of inappropriate control and care about their personal data. Facebook has been criticised as a consequence of the recent changes introduced, namely the way of accessing the users' data inside and outside this social networking site.
The concerns are mainly focused on this "opt-out" attitude which gives the access to facebook user's personal data from other websites.
The media suggest that Facebook is to announce further changes concerning privacy in a few days, however there is no quarantee that it will calm the users down.
Despite that critical dispute, it is rather slightly probable that the users will start huge exodus from Facebook. Nevertheless, FB will have to consider introducing some easier ways of setting privacy and change the policy of privacy, cause people really dont want to display their private data like telephone numbers, or pictures with family to the whole Internet.
