Alternative headline: 47% of users tightened their privacy settings or deleted Facebook post Cambridge Analytica


Yep, though actually 9% had no Facebook (before and after the Cambridge Analytica scandal) so they should be removed form the base altogether, they are part of the survey sample but not of the Facebook userbase i.e.:

100% = 100-9=91

53/91=58% did not change anything

24/91=26% tightened settings

14/91=15% deleted account

+/- 1% due to rounding


My first thought as well. Also what about poeple who already had there settings as tight as they can get? This was the case for me.

47% seems huge though, even if the sample was biased from a technically savy population.
