With the deafening media chaos over Facebook's puzzling and sneaky privacy policies, you'd think that the forthcoming "Quit Facebook Day" would be a workers hit between the social network's hundreds of millions of devotees. But as of Friday May 28, just three days before the huge occasion, fewer than 24,000 Facebook users have dedicated to quitting the service.
To put that figure in viewpoint, Facebook presently has more than 400 million vigorous users. So, yes, a miniscule 0.006 percent of the site's followers are miffed enough by Facebook's mystifying solitude settings to take their online socializing elsewhere.
It's possible, of course, that the figure of Facebook quitters will rise dramatically on Monday, May 31--the officer "Quit Facebook Day"--as word of the objection spreads across the Web. Except the lack of interest thus far is a telling indication of the average Facebooker's apathy to the ongoing seclusion discuss.
Then again, a latest examination by safety firm Sophos shows that at least 60 percent of Facebook users are considering quitting the site over privacy concerns, so who knows what public are actually thinking.
