30% of Tech Workers Deleting Facebook
[link to tech.slashdot.org (secure)]

The survey -- conducted using the anonymous app Blind -- found that nearly a third of those questioned were planning to delete their Facebook accounts. In all, over 2,600 people were surveyed between March 20, 2018 and March 24, 2018, so it neatly took in the peak of the controversy. Broken down by company, the numbers make for interesting reading:

-50 percent of Microsoft employees said they will delete Facebook.
-46 percent of Snapchat employees said they would delete Facebook.
-40 percent of Uber employees said they would delete Facebook.
-38 percent of Google employees said they would delete Facebook.
-34 percent of Amazon employees said they would delete Facebook.
-2 percent of Facebook employees said they would delete Facebook.

True, you won't find any of the old-school techies on fb. The ones who actually helped create the internet saw social media for what it was.

There's large segment of the population for which their only social connections are through Facebook, so they will not delete.

Re: 30% of Tech Workers Deleting Facebook
Bah humbug. Planning to delete. WTF.
"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title."

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women

I deleted my facebook account after my divorce in 2011. There is no point in having a facebook account if the attention whore bitches post shit and upload their selfies on facebook all the time.
