Survey on the privacy awareness of Facebook users (May 6, 2013)
The Centre for the Advancement of Social Sciences Research of the Hong Kong Baptist University was commissioned by the PCPD to conduct the survey on the privacy awareness of Facebook users. 1,016 randomly-sampled Facebook users were interviewed. The results showed that respondents were mainly young people aged between 15 and 30. Facebook was used mainly to keep watch for their friends' status/news (86%); share photos (31%) and chat with friends/family members (29%). Nearly half of the respondents logged on Facebook several times a day. 16% of the respondents spent more than one hour each time; in the age group of 15 to 20, the ratio goes up to 26%.
