308. To connect with friends and family. I like to see photos shared by the people I know.
309. I decided to set up a Facebook account because it is easier to communicate and keep in contact with friends and families that I don't normally see.
310. Set up account because everyone was getting it and wanted to keep in touch with friends and family.
311. I don't use it very often, mostly as a backup "text" service via instant messaging.
312. Communication, and to stay updated with everything
313. I use it to talk to my friends and see posts that involve my hobbies or seem interesting
314. I initially set it up because I didn't have a phone and it was the easiest way to stay in touch with friends.
315. I created a Facebook account when it was first released 10ish years ago. Main benefit would be to keep in touch with friends. It is also very convenient to be able to link other apps to Facebook for ease of access.
316. All my friends had one so I felt I needed one too.
I benefited by being "in the loop" with my friends/ classmates online, so when they talk about something at school about facebook I can relate to them. Also it's nice to be able to keep up to date with people who I haven't been able to meet in person because of their location.
317. I set up a Facebook account because it's very popular and a lot of my friends have a facebook account. It allows me to communicate and keep in touch with my friends and family that I don't see on a regular basis.
318. I just wanted to see why everyone was using it. I get to talk to a lot of friends from every continent in the world
319. Connect with classmates and to be in collaborative groups for projects.
320. Let's me communicate with my family over in India and friends I don't see. It also lets me watch videos I wouldn't see elsewhere and get news from all over the world.
321. Easiest way to connect with a large network of people - not just friends, but also acquaintances
322. Easy to keep up with old friends because I made it when I was like 13 because it was a cool new thing back then
323. I decided to set up a rebook account to stay connected with other individuals. The benefits I gain from this include being able to interact with friends and family, staying updated on global news and trends, learning about new products (through advertisements), and so forth.
324. To connect with people with similar interests; whether that be personal or business.
325. Helps keep me connected with friends and family around the world
326. I got facebook since all of my friends had it, and it became an easy way to communicate with people.
327. I set up Facebook because everyone I know uses Facebook and it allows me to communciate with them easier. The benefits I get are the ability to talk to my friends, stay up to date with news around the world, see what everyone is up to.
328. I got Facebook to interact with my friends and talk to them. Now I barely use it but I use it to know what's happening around the world.
329. At the start I mostly used it because everyone has it. Now I mostly use it to connect with my family that I don't see often that live in different parts of the world. I also use it for some school purpose to create group conversations or to sell books,
330. It was popular among my peers at a given point in time and allows me to connect with a broader audience of people.
331. I was probably one of the last people to get Facebook in my group of friends. I didn't really want to but I was young and got pressured into doing so. However I don't find any benefits by using Facebook except getting into contact with friends/family that live far away
332. Connection with family and friends, keeping tabs, event planning, for upcoming event info
333. Connecting with friends
334. I set it up at a young age in grade 4. I like it because i can connect with everyone around the world.
8h. What are your complaints or concerns? | # Response
1. Too many ads that surface from our Internet history.
2. Known to sell information for profit
3. not enough transparency on the accessibility of your personal information to the public
4. Sometimes they did not follow user`s own privacy setting. They just post all the information on the internet.
5. Waste of time.
6. That not everything is confidential to just my friends
7. i check it far too often for how little I actually care
8. Privacy issues, the fact that they use/sell data, conduct social experiments without full disclosure.
9. That they are selling my information
10. I wonder what kind of information they are collecting on me. Also, I heard they can track any website you go to while facebook is open, which is a big concern for me. When people are tagging me (specifically my face), I am worried that they're basically allowing the system to be able to eventually recognize me through any photo or video.
11. N/a
12. low security settings
13. The privacy
14. Some games would like to know our own personal info. And automatically send us some useless requests.
15. Easy to make a fool of yourself and argue with people.
16. Newsfeed is terrible- full of clickbait and crap.
17. More clear on the information we provide on how it's used and/or sold.
18. The obvious privacy control is a big one. Millions of users have a Facebook account which
makes it a vulnerable target to hacking and security breach. As years have passed, Facebook has been trying to innovate new features into their program and focussing less on the important ones. I'd like to see improvements in the messenger app and see encryption added to make conversations more secure.
19. The site constantly asks for more personal information to be added to your account
20. Too much advertisement
21. people might misused them
22. My concern is that people can get access to any information that's posted. They could build up enough information on personal data - date and place of birth, photographs, names of family members, interests, etc. - and use this to help steal someone's identity. They can then use this information to, for example, take out a mortgage in the victim's name.
23. Privacy of information
24. Don't trust my privacy on Facebook, too much unwanted spam/advertising in my news feed, etc
25. There's an hoax of facebook, and we didn't get the official announcement from them.
26. Certain privacy aspects that the site requires
27. Some services use more information than necessary or automatically default to it (i.e. location).
28. Sometimes I find content too violent, hate inciting or over sexualized.
29. Too many people not communicating just posting and lots of passive aggressive behaviors.
30. I don't think that specifying content according to user preferences is mandatory.
31. the privacy settings.
32. It is time consuming and invades your privacy.
33. Facebook should be limited to ages there are way to many young kids using it.
34. Facebook tracks a lot of info about what I like/dislike, and I wonder what this info is used for and how it is stored. I'm also concerned about whether Facebook sells this info to advertise companies. I also don't like how Facebook gets to control what I see in my Newsfeed (ie. only certain friends pop up in the newsfeed)
35. Cyber bullying and the high usage of it which separates day to day/face to face connections and interactions.
36. Stop with the ads
37. I've heard it takes a lot of private information from us and stores it forever, which is kinda creepy. At the same time, I don't really have anything to hide so it's not a big enough deal to deter me from using the platform.
38. What can be seen by others. A lot of our personal information etc. are uploaded onto this site.
39. Online bulling and people who use it like there therapist.
40. know too much about me
41. Whenever I look up a product online, I receive a pop-up about that product on my Facebook.
42. Being observed
43. My privet
44. That they own the rights to my photos.
45. Dislike receiving game invitations.
46. Gotta stop the spam
47. I don't wanna my friends to see my comments on others
48. I believe that our freedom of speech and right to freedom of expression is in peril because of the rise of global terrorism, which has cast a shadow of suspicion and culpability over all political movements, such as non-violent ecological activists.
49. too much political advertising
50. Privacy
51. It's very m dis driven and it gives me a sense that people are losing touch with reality.
52. My privacy, how private is private?
53. That they post advertising stuff a lot on my newsfeed after I do some Google search
54. Privacy and spyware. We all know the government uses it to spy on people.
55. Facebook has very invasive 'service' that ultimately best symbolizes everything that is wrong with the Interweb with respect to invasions of privacy and the complete loss of control that individuals and groups have over how their personal information is utilized to serve the interests of corporations and agencies of social control (not to mention the way that the 'service' is used by various individuals to engage in campaigns of defamation).
56. - Too laggy.
- Too much random stuff (despite my efforts to control it).
57. There has been a lot of privacy concerns, at times my advertisements on Facebook have been relayed to previous internet searches I have done or topics discussed in my messaging conversations.
58. Too much advertising is displaying now. There needs to be another way isn't of th
59. Well that I dont have the right to own my data but you have.
You could sell my information to anybody for your benefits.
60. Deleted material is never 'gone'.
61. The un-modernised UI.
62. Privacy issues.
63. Privacy settings are a real issue here. There are ads being sponsored based on what site I go on.
64. Can access information from your phone and does not give clear enough warnings before doing so
65. Not that this is specific to Facebook, but social media in general seems to promote narcissism and can also waste a lot of time... Also it is worrying how much personal information Facebook is storing on everyone.
66. Too many to list.. What are the long term effects, how closely do they work with governments, how do I control who sees my posts, my likes, my comments on friends pages that others don't know about.
67. That Facebook is effecting the mental health of individual and special youth's , its depressing to use it. once you start using Facebook it like you have to keep up with it, total waste of time.
68. It is too addicting and because you find out what people are up too without talking to them it almost makes you anti social
69. Unable to delete/remove personal messages sent by accident or just simply wish to delete. This function is available on other instant messaging apps
70. Unless you specifically go into your account/privacy settings, then a lot of your information is not protected. You also have to keep rechecking these settings as Facebook's policies keep changing. I also do not like if someone tags you in a photo then all their friends can see me, even if I did not want them to.
71. 1. fb deletes political posts, and deletes peoples' profiles who by coincidence, are 'political'.
2. fb is essentially a self-reporting vehicle for law enforcement, if they chose to use it.
3. fb makes cyber bullying easier for perpetrators.
4. fb promotes ads for products i find distasteful and damaging to the planet, and as a user, i become a de-facto contributor to things i disagree with.
72. Privacy
73. Security.
74. The messenger app is not smooth.
Also everyone gets notifications if I'm interested in events.
75. Too much spam and advertising
76. Sometime people try to befriend me and I have no idea who they are.
77. It is getting more commercials. People are using the app to make money with fake accouts. When they try to contact me, it is quite annoying.
78. I wish it had more privacy settings and I don't like how it tries to take actions for you (ex:
FB takes pictures in your camera roll and displays them to show you how they would look on the news feed, its like an album.. and its just too much. If I want to post an album I will myself.. I do not need assistance)
79. I don't feel like I know enough about their privacy policy and what they're permitted to do with the content that is posted on there.
80. Sharing of information with governments and corporations.
81. Its intrusive features on mobile smartphones due to its necessary need of information on installation such as your contacts, pictures, etc.
82. I have seen people abuse the features on Facebook for harmful intentions such as harass and cyberbully.
83. Messaging privacy and access to files
84. It takes up too much of my time (partially my own fault) but because there's so much on Facebook I can easily lose track of time or get distracted.
85. I'm concerned with how angry Facebook makes me sometimes. My feed regularly consists of a lot of political fighting and articles of horrific issues that were written about to gain page views. Also the way that ADs are handled and advertised through the feed is awful. Other than the concern that Facebook definitely has a major influence on societal views for the younger generation (which can be very good in terms of going against the horribly aging bias news channels on TV), it is definitely a key player in showing people things they might not need to see. But such is with all social media so there's no escape anyways.
86. Privacy issues on posts
87. I wish they'd leave my stuff in chronological order. I'll decide what's important not you
88. Don't want other people to look into my account without my permission.
89. Difficult to control privacy settings, third party apps using personal information through Facebook (ex. sign up with Facebook account) - makes signing up or making an account easier but what kind of information are they using and why is it necessary?
90. How some things cannot be set to private (ie. Facebook banners) & how some things are difficult to restrict (who sends you messages/friend requests/ changing the audience that can see your older posts, etc.)
91. Privacy - Facebook storing my information. Heard of situations where they have sold people's personal posts.
92. Facebook does not seem to be concerned with its users privacy, and updates over the years see users with less and less privacy options.
93. Issues regarding privacy and my information being sold to companies
94. Questionable use of user information including using information gathered from users to sell advertisements, privacy rights of photos and videos being used on facebook
95. Somehow they would show your personal information to someone you don't know or you do not want them to know who you are
96. the number of ads I see, noticing how they are tailored to what I "like" as well as the
number of videos and "junk" that appear on my news feed. I am concerned with how Facebook uses my information
97. To be fair, it is my own choice (convenience) to use Facebook and that comes with a price. One can learn about
your habits etc by following you or your friends on the Facebook. No matter how your personal safety
policy on the Facebook is, you are still vulnerable. I try to be very selective about posting on FB and never
do it in "real-time" (like... "Having a coffee at English Bay" etc.)
98. Privacy issues.
99. They own everything you post on your profile like pictures.
100. Facebook could be used against you in terms of what kind of content you view and activities you take part in.
101. Biggest concern is that they are monitoring everything I do.
102. Overall, the level of service has been fairly good, but minor complaints include a lack of filtering feature for the news feed. A lot of information gets presented there without any categorization and it can sometimes get difficult to look for information that you've seen in the past. A way to categorize the news feed into topic genres would be unnecessary, but still useful.
103. What they do with my personal information
104. Advertisements
105. No privacy
106. sometime inappropriate and unnecessary advertising banners
107. Facebook and messenger should be one app on phones
108. Terrible UI. Unethical business practices.
109. Having everything you upload (ie display picture) be presented to everyone's timelines
110. There's obviously a very big security/privacy flaw. One of the reasons I rarely use it, the cluster of ads backpacking on your google searches and web history.
111. It is very public
112. The ability to track every action and word when you are on the Facebook page, and the ability to track what else you are doing on other pages while theirs is open.
113. Random people send friend requests.
114. Full of ads, does not seem to prioritize personal security/privacy
115. There is little to no actual privacy on the site regardless of the "privacy settings." There isnt anything thats not seen or saved to the facebook servers, and a lot of the information can be sold to third party sites as stated in their user agreement
8l. We are interested in how people make decisions about what they will post and what they will not. Can you explain a bit about what sorts of materials you would be sure to post on your profile, and perhaps other material where you decided not to post it on Facebook? | # Response

The first time facebook is launched, I like to use it for chat with my friends via the "wall", and I like to pour my thoughts in there, but until I know about a privacy thing, and because my old facebook account got hacked, it's makes me too lazy to use the facebook again, so I only use it for see my photos that people tagged me in, or just to check the news feed
45. I don't choose to like or dislike a comment as often as before.
46. I used to post status updates all the time, but now I just don't get the point of it.
47. Since becoming familiar I use it more
48. My frequency on it has decreased over the years.
49. I used to obsess over it and was very concerned about how my page looked and came across to others. However now I don't care for the appearance other than a profile picture and simply desire privacy. I also used to add people I hardly was friends with and now make sure to only have actual "friends" on my friends list. Finally, I rarely message or talk to people on it unless it's for networking or catching up with old friends.
50. Not as "active" in terms of posting and sharing as I've gotten older.
51. I post far less often
52. I used to post photos (the only content I posted), and now I post none.
53. My usage has increased over time due to having more free time.
54. I am more private and more cautious about my posts
55. Kind of refers to the previous answer. I was much less careful when I first started and complained about my parents, school, and my personal life on Facebook as a sort of cry for attention.
56. When I first started to use Facebook, I used it daily and posted about my life or things about me on my wall. Privacy settings were set to public. Now, I hardly post anything and have my settings set to private, however, there's a limit on how private my account can become.
57. Yes before it used to be about who can get the most friends and most likes now its just
kind of to see wut ur friends are up to kind of thing.
58. Daily postings reduced to barely any postings.
59. I rarely post anything now. I will comment on other people's posts/posts I've been tagged in. I use the account more to follow pages/organizations I'm interested in, and to "like" posts made by friends
60. I used to post more when I was younger, I used to have my settings allow that friends of friends can search for me/see my profile (I no longer allow that) and i used to allow for friends of friends to add me as a friend (no lomger do).
61. Let's just say, I've had to delete a lot of posts and photos I made from when I first got Facebook to now, in search of a professional career and job.
62. I was frequently using it then phones came out with whatsapp
63. At first it was primarily used to contact friends. Now I use it to read articles (news or otherwise), as well as contact friends.
64. I used to post different kind of stuff on Facebook. Lately, I don't use it as often and restrict people who can view my posts
65. More application are connected to facebook nowadays. But i now rarely use facebook for chatting and post my updates.
66. I used to post status updates and albums full of pictures. Now I literally post nothing.
67. I used to post way more than I do now, but that has changed as I age.
68. I was never as careful as I am with what I post when I first started using it. A huge explantaion maybe the fact that I was a pre-teen back then. I would post statuses often about what was on my mind which I completely avoid now, because I prefer people not being predictable.
69. More to interact or be kept up to date with groups or events etc rather than socializing with others.
70. I use to share opinions and feeling but I don't do that anymore.
71. I feel like it is tracking me and I don't like that. They change setting without notification.
72. I have "unfollowed" most of my Facebook friends - specifically, those who overshare personal or irrelevant information - and now mainly follow news pages (such as Al Jazeera, BBC, and NPR), and pages that post interesting news updates (such as Critical Criminology, Southern Poverty Law Center, etc.)
73. I rarely go on facebook anymore. All you see on your feed is people sharing videos and things like that when before people would post pictures of places they've traveled to and things like that
74. As I recently got married, I now have lots for family overseas and in different provinces that are interested in our new life and so I feel I have to share pictures with them.
75. I used to be more active on facebook but not anymore
76. Use it mostly for news now and articles
77. I use it more everyday, log on and check new news or things that have been posted and shared, whether it is for entertainment purposes or events
78. It starts becoming too repetitive.
79. I tend to be more formal because it is such an open forum and I tend to be less negative because it "turns people off" and I don't like spreading negative emotions, except if the situation profoundly warrants such a response.
80. I don't post as much as I did before
81. I used to share more pictures and "statuses" when I was younger but now it's mainly for messaging, events and reading articles.
82. I used to post that I was bored all the time.
83. I used more to watch news update all over the world
84. I used to post a lot of stuff. Nowadays, not much so, probably once a month.
85. I used to use Facebook solely for messaging, now I use it for networking and connecting with peers and colleagues.
86. Post less.
87. Don't usually check fb as much. Too much advertisement and pop ups.
88. I used to post things without pictures, but now I feel like if I need to post something I have to post it with a picture.
89. At a young age it was more about posting pictures and liking. Now its more about whats new in the world and to have some sort of connection with people you dont regularly meet.
90. Used to update status all the time; post constantly. Still use it a lot, but very little of my own activity.
91. I use it more as a messenger than a social media site.
92. I used to post more random status updates that includes my own opinion or just plain random content. However, the mature I've became, I am much more exclusive to what I want to use Facebook for (ex. communicating with close friends).
93. Less and less people.use it for posting random ideas and events, it has become.more of a peraonal branding tool.
94. I don't post much in general. I used to post pictures of my nights out all the time, but hardly ever do now. I also never make status updates anymore.
95. I no longer like, comment, or post anything on my timeline, although I do like, comment, and post in groups. I simply use it for messaging and groups.
96. I matured and started thinking about consequences about what I post, as well as other peoples' feelings and opinions.
97. I used it for social networking before but now I use it for events and marketing stuff
98. I used to post a large volume of personal information without any understanding of what Facebook would become ... ie. party pictures, entire albums of webcam selfies, and posts
with less-than-professional language and content.
99. I use to post and share stuff on Facebook but now I just don't do that because it has become a platform where every one tries to tell how exciting or success their life is.
100. Less posting of my children's pictures and statuses. Ensure I ask permission of friends and famijybshoukd I wish to post them in a pic
101. I had many people who i can't consider friends on it and have deleted some and will only keep people who are meaningful in my life
102. I used to post more (in the first year or so I had it) and then i realized how evil it was and how it could ruin a persons future
103. Used to use fake name with no real photos of myself. Am a lot less paranoid these days
104. When I was younger I used it less, but now I use it a lot, especially for the messenger app so that I message groups (a lot of them).
105. I used to post all the time, and now I really don't care whether people know about my life or not
106. Keep posts very minimal, nothing too personal.
Nor do I express any emotions and keep it very basic.
107. Before it was just to stay in touch with friends and family, but now I often read the news or post things I am passionate about. However, I am very selective in what I say and which pictures I post, as I know when I finish my Master's degree employers will probably look through my facebook profile and I do not want them to find anything which may decrease my chances of getting a job. I have also gone through my friend list and deleted some people who really don't need to know about everything I am up to.
108. It became boring and time consuming
109. 1. i have become somewhat more careful with what i reveal.
2. i make internal judgments about people based upon their posts, and have terminated friendships over same, thus challenging Buddha nature in myself which i am attempting to grow.
3. i try to limit my time on fb, as i think it is a bad habit i have developed.
4. i find it fascinating that young folks use texting and fb as their primary means of communication, and i wonder where we will be in a generation, where many are ignorant of social protocols, respect, manners, and niceities.
110. As a kid I used to post anything about my day and my page was pretty activate with pretty pointless stuff. Now I post only informational or inspiring things, or pictures. Not status about my day
111. Before It was used as a communication too, for example writing of people's walls, etc.
Now I use it to know more about what is happening all over the world
112. It's more used to keep up-to-date with people and pages rather than being used to update
others about your own life.
113. I use it more frequently to watch videos and keep up with the new trends. #harambe
114. Depends on what features are added.
115. I used to be more interactive on Facebook, posting on friends' walls, posting status updates, commenting on things. Now, I use Facebook mostly to see what my friends have been up to, see what material has been trending virally, and very rarely comment on anything.
116. Us it less and less.
117. When I first signed up I would be on it all day long, just liking random posts from my friends, messaging all my friends, playing games, and just being extremely active. Whereas now I do enough just to stay up to par with the latest news and have a presence of "I'm still active", and FB is just not my go to app anymore because it just died down.
118. When I joined, Facebook was much newer, and many of its own functions have changed. I used to join many more facebook groups, but now I mainly just look at others' posts and will 'like' or comment on them.
119. Post much less often now.
120. Not frequent anymore in putting up posts like before
121. Maturity. Facebook use to be my main communication with friends, so I would post a lot and have immature conversations on pictures. Not anymore though.
122. I tend to post less and talk to people through the messenger app more.
123. I don't use it as much anymore for posting about myself, I mainly use it for current events
124. Originally Facebook was a way to keep in full contact with my friends while I was across the country; now I see it as a way to pass time and gather interesting bits of information from those I know and around the world.
125. I do not post as often as I used to and the form in which I speak(type) has also changed due to age and maturity.
126. More mature less posting more curation and higher security.
127. I used to check all of my news feed and spend a lot of time just looking at what people were up to. Now I mainly use Facebook just for messages.
128. I used Facebook more often when it had just become accessible and popular with teens (circa 2007 or 2008). Now I use newer apps such as Instagram (which is owned by Facebook) and Snapchat.
129. I used to use facebook all the time. I deleted my account as I spent too much time on it. I made a new account and don't really have friends on it. I use it for club purposes and to follow some scientific sites.
130. I use it more to learn about the news nowadays.
131. I use it a lot less now
132. I've been posting more videos now than I used to.
133. About 8 years ago I didn't really know what to do with it. I was traveling in Beijing, and I see in my Facebook memories now that there are no pictures. I'm not sure if it just didn't support it then or if I didn't know what I was doing. I know post pictures and videos all the time
134. I have decided to use alternate means instead of Facebook to get in touch with friends. Usage has greatly decreased over time
135. Used to use it every day but now using less than once a week.
136. When I first got Facebook in about 2008 or so, I used to post personal things but now I post videos or content that contain a message I want to spread or I use it to keep in touch with people I cannot in any other medium.
137. I used to "like" pages and post photos a lot more that I do now.
138. Don't make statuses or write on walls anymore. Just use it to post pictures, look at my newsfeed & message coworkers/friends who I don't text.
139. I only set up my account on Facebook in last year (summer 2015) with the encouragement of my husband and son. I don't find it very interesting for me to use it because most updates of my friends are associated with what beautiful places they stayed and how delicious food they enjoyed.
140. I used to post a status about what I was doing or where I was going all the time. But in high school I stopped doing that, now I don't ever post a status or where I am going. I just post pictures occasionally of a interesting thing I saw. And my privacy settings have changed from very open to very private (only friends can see what I post)
141. I have used Facebook less and less over time, and mainly use it just for its messenger.
142. I post much less now.
143. I used to post statuses about my life regularly, now I only use it to look at other people's Facebook
144. I would post a lot more often before, however after becoming more aware of who can see my facebook posts, I began posting less and less and now I rarely post at all. Most friends also do not pay much attention to facebook posts now and Facebook has primarily become a instant messaging program, events manager and entertainment board for me now.
145. Not always check the status as I need to work during daytimes
146. I have started to use it a lot more as a quick distraction for a few minutes here and there!!
147. When I was younger, around the age of 13 maybe, I would always post statuses on Facebook and post tons of pictures. Now I rarely ever post a status or upload pictures.
148. I used to post statuses but I don't anymore.
149. At first it was on a regular basis maybe 11 hours a day now its more restricted due to emergence of other social networks which now take part of those 11 hours i usually spent on Facebook
150. Instead of just checking for daily updates from friends, I check messages and other interesting news from bloggers.
151. I use to share everything, but now I do not post at all.
152. I post less and I check Facebook less.
153. Not used as much any more with how often my friends or family will post or view there news feed
154. facebook hs become more of an entertainment site for me after getting out of school.
155. Used to post much more frequently. Now I primarily use it to see what others are doing as well as to message other people on FB.
156. less
157. i use it more now to connect with friends and catch myself using it more than once a day.
158. I've been using it more to message people because I usually don't have their mobile contact information and find it easier sometimes just to talk to them through Facebook's messenger. Creating events have also become a lot easier and has gained popularity because it is easier to keep track of events, compared to when Facebook initially came out.
159. Only use for groups of friends. Socialize using groups and group chats
160. Over time i started posting a lot less and viewed it less.
161. Used to say everything through Facebook
Now I don't say anything
I just use it to get a larger audience when I rant.
162. I have reduced the time I spend on Facebook and don't post as often as I used to.
163. I share less and less about myself
164. more privacy options now
165. When I first began, I used it more consistently, using Facebook as more of an online diary where majority of my friends were doing the same. Now, I usually only observe what people has shared, and if something is interesting enough for me to share, I will share them.
166. Since joining the programme, I use it
about one to two times a day at home. However, I am using it very often, say once I have time and convenient, I would look at it.
167. In the beginning interaction on Facebook was more personal, and everyone used quizzes and minor game apps all the time. This type of action on FB has largely decreased over time.
168. After setting up, I open it without one time. But more I use it once a day at least.
169. I used to browse it a lot more. Now I only use to the message people occasionally.
170. I used to post much more often and more photos than I do now
171. When I first made my account, I would post several times a day. I don't post on Facebook anymore.
172. the amount of usage has increased!
173. I started posting more of my own self my life and values as i learned it is important for everybody to have a voice
174. I used to post very frequently and now I barely post.
175. Don't use it as much anymore as I resort to other social media apps
176. Used to be more personal and now it is just more general. It's annoying to see spam posts so I wouldn't want to do that to my connections. There isn't a need to broadcast every bit of your life.
177. I created facebook in early high school and I was very free with what I did and said and posted online. But the more friends I connected with the more reclusive I became. I don't post much anymore, but I still like to go around and like some of my "friends'' posts, but I will only comment on things with people who are close, and will only say information that I would feel okay with strangers reading (even though I have a private account, I still consider many of my facebook friends to be strangers).
178. I used to only have Facebook and not any of these other social networking sites. Back in high school we'd use it as a Twitter and Instagram combined, and constantly post random thoughts/pictures and spam each other. It's become a lot more curated.
179. Initially I used Facebook to chat with friends, but now I personally feel that it has become a platform to stay updated about what's going in the world around you ( at least for me).
180. I use it less
181. I used to use it on the daily when i first got it, but now the market has become saturated with more msging apps with are better and some more secure that facebook so me and my friends prefer those.
182. First I used it everyday and could barely live with out it. Now I barely use it a week.4
183. I went from spending lots of time and posting a lot of things to never posting. I often use it just to read somethings or look at family pictures.
184. I do not use it on a regular basis. The options seem too personalized for my liking.
185. Use it waaaaay less
186. Became more complicated..alot more stuff you can do
187. I used to post almost everything on facebook but now I am very limited to what I let people see

14b. Please give an example and explain what you did not like about that site or app. | # Response
1. Steam, not secured enough.
2. Some photo editing apps want access to your messaging, phone logs, location, etc. and I feel that there is absolutely no need, if all I want to do is trim a photo.
3. A lot of miscellaneous apps on Appstores that ask for personal information/use of certain phone settings that aren't required (ie. using camera/contacts for a note taking app)
4. Not sure.
5. Apps or Games that post to, or use information (personal and list of friends) from your facebook profile.
6. I do not use facebook, kakaotalk, or any social networking apps on my tablet
7. Skype
8. Some Facebook pages
9. I wish I could use Skype because I have friends who live far away and want to communicate with me using Skype, but I do not trust Skype to respect the fact that I do not want my video conferences recorded, saved, monitored, or sold.
10. Face book - know your lokátorom, activitied
11. A stupid phone game I do not know I will even like or use. Something so simple wanting so much access to all of my call logs, messages, phones, location, files, photos etc. Like a dentist asking about your sex life. Yea you're kind of a doctor but still, fuck off right?
12. Can't remember which apps but I ignore most that ask to share information
13. I had to link my Facebook account to use the app.
14. eBay. Because the products i check out on eBay show up as adverts every where on the internet (especially youtube) and it annoys me.
15. Facebook messenger
16. i don't like apps that ask about the location i'm in.
17. Sometimes I go on to google to look up information and when I open up a browser I sometimes receive a warning sign that says I have been warned that what I am looking at can harm my computer that could create virus's
18. Facebook Messenger asks for too many permissions on my phone, so back when I used facebook, I did not download the app. However, I knew that Facebook also kept a lot of my information, but I used it too much to stop.
19. Facebook
My personal data may be given to third parties
20. Messenger, waited to download it until Facebook made it so that you absolutely need it to message anyone. When downloading the app it asks for permission to access almost any file on your phone, which is a huge invasion of privacy
21. They want access to my contacts or my profile;
22. Dropbox cause they say they can keep that info
23. Twitter
24. Snapchat
25. The app was asking permission for some fun tikn of my phone which is not needed for the app to function
26. Cant remember the name
27. Facebook and Google are voracious consumers of personal information so I never use facebook and use alternatives to google whenever possible (but don't register for google accounts). Also, when I get apps for my phone and the list of phone elements they ask for seems to exceed what I feel comfortable with, I will decline the app and look for something else.
28. Venmo. Anyone with this app can see who you paid and how much.
What's App. Similar to above response
29. Messegner
30. Facetime and various collaborative {'cloud-based') services (e.g., Google Docs)
31. I honestly don't remember; but I remember clearly there has been such an incident.
32. Facebook with their new antivirus
33. Tinder
34. Pokemon Go.
35. Most apps want access to.my media and files which I don't give them.
36. Don't remember
37. I blocked all apps on my phone, because my anti-virus/privacy protection is weaker than my computer and I feel like any app could potentially misuse my information. I especially do not use chatroom sites like Omegle as I think they surely take some of your information because the advertisements on their sites always seem to be linked to things like a person's age. I also refuse to download apps that track where you are, such as Tinder, as I do not want people to know where I am every minute of every day.
38. Tinder!
39. Dating sites
40. Dating apps usually put out information linked from my personal social media which can be very annoying
41. Facebook
Invasive
42. Instagram. If I made my post available to the public, when I google my name, my photos shows up, which freaks me out.
43. hard to say Maybe it's not safe to use the one
44. Take lengthy time to read the privacy policy etc. but eventully I don't really understand it al all and then quit the site/app.
45. Can't remember specific names, but in the past decided not to use any program that seemed "suspicious" to me
(either by reviewing the usage agreement, or by reviews on the Internet)
46. Any dating site
47. facebook messenger app
48. It
49. I don't know
50. I didn't like pokemon go because it tracked my location.
51. Nil.
52. Some game involving tapping cards shouldn't need access to my gallery, phone calls, messaging, etc.
53. Nil.
54. I severely dislike the Pokemon Go app - it collects an insane amount of information about each person who registers, even worse if the person were to purchase an item in the app. Any privacy they had before it is gone. Access to photos, call history, call logs, contacts, messages, etc etc.
55. It asks for access to my personal information such as my phone contacts and location etc.
56. Facebook and LinkedIn
57. When they can post on your profile about their apps or have access to my pictures
14d. Please name the app(s) you have concerns about and explain briefly what your concerns are. | # Response
1. Google,they collect too much information. Just a matter of time before someone hacks into their database if that hasn't happened already
2. Most social media. See "facebook"
3. Facebook - privacy settings
4. I only use apps that help me.
5. Any apps that track movement.
I use google maps fairly regularly. Also use location services when find searches "in your area". I don't like my location being tracked however it is useful fairly often.
6. Facebook with their dubious privacy. I don't even like using a lot of random things like even google, things like polaris office. For some reason google wants access to my camera. Polaris office wants my contacts, but I dont want to give them away, and I dont know why they need it.
7. Bus info. Have to know when will it arrive
8. All apps which require permission to access my contact list, location, or camera (e.g. Calendar, Google Maps, Messaging). My concern is that apps which have access to my camera or contact list can be compromised and allow companies or individuals to gain access to photos or the contact information of anyone in my phone.
9. Bánkk, airline, - that they can get hacked and personal data stolen
10. Skype is probably monitored. To be honest the government probably monitors everything. Prob porn sites. If i wanted to become rcmp, they ask about your history with porn. Being honest is going to be really awkward, especially if they go into specifics hehe. Phone games a problem. Google probably see all your stuff. Facebook for sure has no privacy what so ever.
11. Facebook
12. facebook, whats app, and other SMSs. We all know they're recording all the interactions we're making over the web. I don't like it but i have to use them since thats where all the communication happens these days.
13. Facebook keeps and sells information, as do many other social media sites. I no longer use any social media sites, but I do use messaging apps. And I am aware that telecommunications companies also keep information and distribute it to the government when asked.
14. Facebook
My personal content may be shared to other third parties
15. Messenger, see above
16. Facebook
17. Snapchat and Instagram
18. Snapchat , whatsapp, pretty much every app I have on my phone
19. Facebook, their privacy rules are flawed, deepface (a software that recognizes and maps your face to recognize you in photos you're not yet tagged in) is creepy and kind of intrusive
20. I can't remember specific
21. Snapchat. If someone adds me on snapchat they can see all of my information and there is no way for me to block this person
22. Can't think of a specific one right off hand, but sometimes you just really want that app and it's that or nothing, and you decide it's worth it.
23. Venmo, Facebook, Messenger, my bank...pretty much every single app. I do not trust that anything is secure, and the NSA is always able to tap into people's computers or phones.
In addition, I have stopped using Amazon.com because there were 4 occasions where they began to charge me for services that I did not sign up for after I made a purchase. I had to change my credit card 4 times as a result
24. All apps concern me. The reason is I don't know who maintains and controls them
25. Gmail but only for communications that do not involve the sharing of information that needs to remain private, confidential or secure because GMail is a US service, run on US servers and subject to US laws (e.g., US Patriot Act)
26. Pretty much everything. I hate agreeing to stuff, so I never agree to optional ones.
27. All my apps. They all have too many permissons.
28. Snapchat, Pokémon Go
29. Don't Remember
30. I do use facebook only because it is the most convenient way to stay connected and is very good for doing group projects, however the fact that they sell some of your information to advertisers does concern me.
31. Microsoft outlook... It must be safe... I have no other choices because I use it for work
32. I don't care too much about that
33. When an apps requests updating or pop-up message that would ask me about payment terms, for example, I would start concerning it as I may not fully understand the terms and conditions especially the transction would incur cost.
34. Atom tix is a ticket selling application that offers free tickets but requires the site to store and save your personal information
35. FB messenger, but it is a trade-off. It is just too convenient
36. Facebook
37. It asked for acces to pictures and I didn't want to share my photos
38. Instagram, Facebook if people besides my followers or friends can see my posts.
39. Nil.
40. Visibly under-developed games that have limited gameplay and ask for questionable permissions
41. Nil.
42. Pokemon go.
Still using it because its the trend
43. As said, Pokemon Go, Facebook APP (Requires almost the same amount of needs as listed above), and basically any free game app on the store.
44. VISA apps, anyone can steal your phone and have access to your credit card
45. I do not recall what the apps were but they were third-party apps. My concerns are how much information is being accessed.
46. What's app. I use it because I only communicate with people I choose and, unless we create a big group, messages are between two or a few people. My concerns are about how they keep the messages and photos exchanged over the years (who has access to them, how and where are they stored and for how long, etc). My other concern is that the What's app has access to all the contacts and photos on my phone, where I sometimes store private information about people (their email address, their birth date, their home address etc.), they also have access to my agenda (where I only write minimal info).
18b. Please describe briefly what happened and what it meant to you. | # Response
1. Facebook generates your information to post ads that they think will interest you. Ie you get engaged they will post ads of bachlerette parties, once you get married all you see is baby ads.
2. I can find the information in public internet where I have never post them on that.
3. I got hacked.
4. Aldo had my information on file from when I ordered online. So when I called them with the phonenumber I provided them from my online purchase, they greeted me by name
5. I didnt disclose it but one time i saw an advertisement for a cam site and it had my picture on it. I was 17 at the time which is super illegal. So i just reported it and stuff and it got taken down.
6. Received advertising phone calls.
7. My debit account got used my an unknown user.
8. Auto fill in for different forms online
9. My google searched often influence the advertisements I encounter around the internet
10. I said something in a online post and people were asking about it.
11. Used my real cell phone number for some surveys. Got some spam calls.
12. The only example I can think of is when I do online shopping, I keep seeing ads of the items I searched for. I'm concerned about advertising companies being sold this information.
13. Searching for items in Amazon and later seeing it advertised through my Facebook.
14. I had information on my LinkedIn account about my work history. Later on I found that all of this information was public on a site called zoom
15. Sometimes I search things in Google and later in Facebook I have ads that are related to what I searched before.
16. Facebook being linked to every other app I don't like that
17. Searched a lot of baby stuff on Google (I think it was ToysRUs or something), only to find out a few days later I get a bunch of ads about baby stuff EVERYWHERE like Facebook. Scary.
18. I've signed online petitions and been added to mailing lists I didn't sign up for.
19. Happens all the time. Ads that track your visits = #1
20. Facebook- but that was me being young and not so informed when I signed up and now my information is out there and I cant go back
21. my personal information sold to retailers, to dating sites and other 'age-specific' companies
22. I've had my credit card compromised several times, but I don't know if it happened with online purchases or in physical stores because the credit card company/bank doesn't divulge that kind of information.
23. Spam
24. Some one stole my credit card information and try to make some expensive purchase.
25. Well, I didn't disclose it but a close relative did and found that in my weekly Google search for my name my children's names and locations were linked to me. I immediately contacted the website and requested they remove my personal information which they did. I also requested that they never post any information related to my name on their site (it was a genealogy website) and they assured me that I was now identified as a "do not post". Whether this will remain I don't know but given that I check for my posted information weekly on Google and deal with problems such as this immediately, if it happens again I will once again ask for it to be removed.
26. Went to a swimsuit website & saw advertisements all over my internet for the next few weeks
27. Log into a "free" wifi network but give them email address, and then get spammed later.
28. I often will go online and look at different websites, and then see that same website, or a similar product or service as an add on my computer
29. I
30. Purchases made (hacked) on amazon and apple
31. Someone made a fake account with my name on Facebook. It took me three years to take it down
32. People used what i said in another context and assuming different intentions for why i said it. Or people using info i posted on private accounts in public context.
33. Once I booked my holidays via booking.com then went to a completely different websites (newspaper) and systematically received ads on my holiday destination!
Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this survey; we thank you on behalf of all the students taking the course as well as the professor and teaching assistant. In the space below, please feel free to make any comments you would like to make about this survey, and/or to add in anything more that wasn't included in the survey. We will be posting a summary of the results of the survey on our course web page; the student who referred you to this survey will let you know when/where you can find it. | # Response
1. Soooo long and dense.
2. Some of the questions were hard to answer because the choices did the match the question particularly well, especially the ones which starts with "I ... ".
3. This survey made me think about my own internet privacy and what I can do to address some of the flaws
4. Thank you very much.
5. Questions were thought provoking and great in general, but I feel the survey is too long. Overall, it was a great experience to be a part of the survey.
6. Thanks
7. Good survey. Very interesting.
8. This was way too long
9. julia Kim refered me
10. a little long
11. Great survey
12. For all answers pertaining to social media sites, note that I have joined no social media sites.
13. I don't mind the government and security agencies having access to info. I do not like corporations having access!
14. Interesting, made me think a bit about privacy settings. Now I am paranoid. Now I can no
longer play Pokemon Go in peace.
15. I think that this is a very important topic, as personal information on the internet can be misused in so many different ways. Hopefully these survey results can be used in some way to influence public policy on this issue. Thank you!
16. This was a very good survey - it was well thought-out, with a very comprehensive set of questions.
17. The survey asked questions that really makes an individual think about the social media and privacy that we are entitled too but don't neccessary get by going on to Facebook and other social website and browsers . I wish that the survey gave information or suggestions that can be used to help improve an individuals privacy
18. It might be a good idea to ask for faculty of students to get an idea of the type of background information they have on these issues.
19. The survey is so long hahah
20. Thanks to Thirza Tricia Suginawan that refer me this survey
21. finish
22. Some of the questions were a bit confusing. Some of the questions seemed similar.
23. Too long
24. N/A
25. I found some questions repetitive. ..
26. This survey helped in nailing home the importance of privacy access and how I need to be vigilant in securing my privacy and that of my family and friends .
27. This was a long survey, some questions felt repetitive
28. this is a good feedback and knowledge to know about our information been online.
29. Great subject and something that we can not avoid which is data mining.
30. Instead of just focusing on facebook i think it would be better to focus on snapchat because that is like the new thing right now.
31. A little too long, some repetitive questions. Otherwise, an excellent survey on privacy!
32. No comments, the survey has given me a lot to think about. Maybe follow up with those who are interested in learning more about Internet privacy with resources?
33. It's long. Seems that some stuff are repetitive. Best of luck with the survey. Give Laura cheng my regards
34. Emily Choma
35. I don't trust my security online, but I don't know what to do about it from a technological point of view. I do not post personal information on Facebook (which is the only social media site I have), nor do I join many sites. I'm always concerned about hackers, and about
government spying, but I don't know what to do about it.
36. Nil
37. I believe overall, If accessing our information and histories is to keep us safe or protect us then I feel it is okay to share the information.
38. Too long
39. Good for awareness and making people realise what and how they are handling the use of the Internet and socials media
40. Doing this questionnaire has escalated my anxiety level and concerns which makes me want to check my privacy settings on Facebook and find an app to see if anybody is tracking me. I no longer feel as secure as I did before, because the repetition of the questions made me feeling that we have a run amok government that is not constrained by the law and a capitalist market system that is free to poach information and resell it at whim.
41. I felt i was being interrogated because one question was asked several times
42. This survey is way to too long.
43. Tim Mo
44. The survey was very long. I would be happy to give my input but I think you could cut down a lot of questions so that people are more interested to fill it out.
45. Some of the statements from Part 3 are simple Y/N questions. The scale makes them challenging to answer. Also you should find out who uses paid privacy applications, like VPN's.
46. This survey made me think back how maybe I should be more secured when using the Internet.
47. Ddghhh
48. I think there should be a notice at the start of the survey that tells the person taking the survey how long it will be. (Ex. "This will take approximately 10-15 minutes of your time")
49. Make it more concise.
50. It would be good to let people know before starting the survey that it will tale about 20 minutes to complete so they can set aside the time. Survey was an eye opener about privacy protection that I should be using.
51. Interesting Survey!
52. Ihave realized that I haven't had much interests about privacy terms on the Internet. I think people should talk about the Internet privacy more and we should set up stardards for it.
53. This survey helped me to realize that i am not as aware about privacy options, as i should be.
54. I felt like some of the questions were about similar topics but asked in slightly different ways. I was wondering if this was meant to probe whether people give consistent answers across the survey, but I found it slightly confusing and repetitive.
55. Good
56. Intresting survey. Broadened my outlook on the internet. Tad long though
57. Nah
58. Good luck
59. The choice of "Neither Agree nor Disagree" always propels me to think less of the question at hand. I don't mean it's a bad choice, but sometimes I think it ought to be disabled to provide more meaningful results.
60. I would have liked to have seen a question or two about net neutrality in this survey.
61. Na
62. n/a
63. I do give out an email to shopping sites etc. but it is an email used only for that and not linked to any other emails and the credit card used for shopping is a singular card used only online and for no other purpose. The email is not under my name so the question on emails was difficult to answer accurately. I also maintain 8 different emails under both my name (for things like school) and also under aliases/foreign names/words unrelated to my name to ensure I can choose the email and the information linked to that email. I never use cloud storage of any type unless forced to (by publishers etc. for texts and whatnot). I strongly believe that we are entering a period of pre-eminent arrest for crimes that have not been committed but "might" in the future based on an individual's web presence/traffic. I think that the average person has no idea how serious this is going to be and is uninformed regarding how much of their personal information is available and how it might be interpreted by police agencies/government etc. I do use social media but very carefully curate what is posted and who is permitted to see it - no friends of friends, no one I don't personally know etc. I also believe strongly that regardless of whether an individual has "something to hide" will have no bearing on what happens in the future. The Internet of Things also has me concerned as we are now tracked by our refrigerators, phones, televisions, watches, cars, etc. - pretty much anything with an onboard computer. I try to remain "off the grid" as much as possible and regularly shut down my social media (not just log off but actually delete the account and then start again adding friends/contacts). Google has become a huge problem in the last couple years as it accesses information without my knowledge and I have to regularly go into it and delete my history and change privacy settings as the company continues to modify with an automatic opt in function which I think must end. I'd be very interested in the results of this survey and imagine that most people are not as "paranoid" as I am. My biggest problem in attempting to maintain privacy online is friends, relatives etc. will post and tag information related to me that I am forever asking to have removed or untagging. While I believe I have few "weak spots" I know, for example, my husband is a huge problem and within 15 minutes anyone with a little bit of computer knowledge would be able to put together a fairly complete profile of who I am. I've spoken to him numerous times about it but he doesn't seem to understand my concerns so this is an ongoing problem (not only for me but probably for anyone as concerned about online privacy as I am). Anyway, I do what I can but forsee a future in which this won't be sufficient and I will simply have to go off the grid permanently.
64. Privacy on the net should be more protected and sites should be more secured. I am against any kind of using personal informations for other purpose than for the one they have been
given
65. n/a
66. Maybe I should pay much attention to the privacy online
67. Quesrions in this survey were great in regards to how individuals feel about safety/security level of those shopping/corporal/government websites... Maybe good idea to add questions like.... have you ever been a victim of identity theft? How often do you check your credit with credit bureaus?
68. No comments
69. well done
detailed Survey

73. I think it terms of privacy or convenience, it will always be the convenience that will convince most people! Well people like me
74. Really interesting information and questions! It got me thinking, and will be changing a few of my online habits.
75. It was a good survey
76. ..
77. Interesting topic. I actually kind of enjoyed doing this.
78. The survey was fairly detailed and relevant. It raises a lot of interesting topics and questions that I haven't thought about before. It would be good that this type of education was a little more common in high schools now that the Internet has become so prevalent in our daily lives.
79. Jasleen Sangha
80. A lot of the survey was quite repetitive, which is why it was so long.
I lost interest in the survey, which is not good for information collection.
81. Okay.
82. Make the survey shorter please..
83. Thanks
84. Nil.
85. Too long...
86. No comments.
87. Sometimes the cost of giving up a little privacy maybe worth the price, if it means security is
enhanced and illegal and fraudulent activities are monitored, halted or abated.
88. Survey was a bit too long. It should be 5 mins at most.
89. Referred by Jasleen Sangha
90. I think this is a very good survey, and I'm sure the course is very good as well. More people need to learn how to protect their privacy online.
91. This was rather long. I lost interest halfway through the survey. A few questions were rather confusing as well.
92. Interesting
93. Very interesting survey! A bit long though...but gives a lot of food for thought.
94. It was long
