“This study shows that young people are increasingly concerned with privacy, but also proves that, sometimes, at certain times or without realizing it, can share harmful content to others and generate unwanted situations, “he said in a statement Natalia Basterrechea, Public Relations Facebook in Portugal.
Almost all these young people (94% ) recognize that it is not correct to publish negative or embarrassing pictures of others, and 69% consider it wrong to publish photos without permission “even that good.” Running more risks, feathers half of respondents said they would never reveal the password for your account.
