Privacy in Social Networks?

I recently received an email with the following information:

…the top results from Harris Interactive’s survey of over 2,000 social media users.

• 44% want to create a place where they could only share with their close friends and family.
• 42% want to be more careful with what they shared online.
• 36% want more control over who can see what they shared.
• 25% want to spend less time updating social media accounts.

Check. Check. Check. Check. Sounds right up Spokt’s alley, right? I don’t buy it.

Here’s how this reads to me:

…the top results from Some survey of over 2,000 high school and college-aged girls:

• 44% want to date a nice guy.
• 42% want to spend less time hanging out with guys that are jerks.
• 36% want more controls and curfews put in place to keep them safe.
• 25% want to think more long-term when choosing who they date.

We know what is good for us but we don’t always do it. That’s life, right?
