The majority of Facebook's user development is coming from areas outside of the US, Canada, and also Europe, although it's still including individuals in those areas. If you ask US teens, whose social media choices can be taken into consideration a bellwether, Facebook isn't also their second favored social system.

And also over the last few years, they've encountered rumors ranging from political election interference to huge violations of user personal privacy.

Conversely, Facebook might just be so established that habitual users, whether they respect privacy detractions, feel they can't quit the website, as TechCrunch's Josh Constine noted.
