Facebook Users May Quit over Privacy, Sophos Reports

Sixty percent of respondents to a Sophos poll say they are considering quitting Facebook due to privacy fears.

Of roughly 1,600 people surveyed, 60 percent said it is either "highly likely" or "possible" that they will leave Facebook due to concerns over privacy. Just 24 percent said they either wouldn't leave or it is "not likely." The remaining 16 percent of the respondents had already left the site.

Earlier in 2010, Sophos conducted a survey of businesses that rated Facebook ahead of Twitter, LinkedIn and MySpace as the riskiest social networking site.
