Privacy worries many Facebook, Google users
A considerable number of Facebook and Google users worry about privacy and malware when using the social networking site and search engine, according to a survey from Gallup Poll and USA Today.
Almost 70% of Facebook users and 52% of Google users in the U.S. said they are "somewhat" or "very" concerned about privacy when using Facebook.com and Google's search engine, USA Today reported on Wednesday. Getting infected with malware worries 65% of Facebook users and 54% of Google users, the survey found.
However, these concerns don't seem to be driving people away from either site. Facebook's U.S. unique visitors reached 153.9 million in December, up 38% year-on-year, while time spent on the site and total page views grew 79% and 71%, according to comScore.
