Facebook’s popularity slips again among teens
Facebook’s popularity among teenagers is continuing to slip, with younger users increasingly turning to messaging apps and Twitter instead. A new report by Frank N. Magid Associates and reported by Bloomberg found that Facebook usage among 13-to-17-year-olds in the US had fallen from 95 percent in 2012 to 94 percent in 2013 and to 88 percent in 2014, while Twitter rose by 2 percent to 48 percent usage in the same period.
Interesting point that only 9 percent of teens used the word “safe” or “trustworty” to describe Facebook. Could all the talk about safety online be making an impact?
