"A new study shows that privacy on social media is like second-hand smoke. It's controlled by the people around you.
"Individual choice has long been considered a bedrock principle of
online privacy. If you don't want to be on Facebook, you can leave or
not sign up in the first place. Then your behavior will be your own
private business, right?
"The new study presents powerful evidence that the answer to that question is no."
A recent article, from the University of Vermont, in Tech Xplore reported on this study that was published this month in the journal Nature Human Behavior.
