Seg\u00fan un informe de la organizaci\u00f3n Consumer Reports, un 25% de los usuarios de la red social en EE.UU. cre\u00f3 una cuenta falsa para ocultar su verdadera identidad. Adem\u00e1s, este estudio revel\u00f3 que \u00abhay gente que comparte demasiado\u00bb<\/p>\n
Ese porcentaje que hab\u00eda falsificado su perfil apenas era de un 10% en 2010, lo que refleja un incremento de la preocupaci\u00f3n por la seguridad de las personas con cuenta en la popular plataforma de Internet.<\/p>\n
\u00abLa gente est\u00e1 tratando Facebook con m\u00e1s cautela\u00bb, se explica en el informe anual sobre el estado de Internet para el que se encuestaron a residentes en m\u00e1s de 2 mil hogares en EE.UU y en el que tambi\u00e9n se evidenci\u00f3 un aumento de los problemas por el uso de esa red social. Un 11% de los domicilios en los que hay personas dadas de alta en Facebook afirm\u00f3 haber tenido problemas el a\u00f1o pasado que fueron desde acceder a la cuenta de otro usuario sin permiso hasta incluso haber sufrido alg\u00fan tipo de acoso o amenaza.<\/p>\n
Al menos 4,8 millones de personas emplearon la red social para anunciar sus planes de viaje, una informaci\u00f3n que potencialmente puede dar pistas a ladrones sobre cuando asaltar su vivienda y 4,7 millones de usuarios se posicionaron p\u00fablicamente respecto a una enfermedad o un tratamiento.<\/p>\n
Las referencias sobre temas de salud podr\u00edan llegar a repercutir en c\u00f3mo las aseguradoras privadas valoran el coste de una p\u00f3liza para un posible cliente en el futuro, se apunta desde Consumer Reports. Otra conclusi\u00f3n significativa es que 13 millones de usuarios de Facebook en EE.UU. jam\u00e1s han modificado las opciones de privacidad de su perfil en la red social o incluso declararon no saber que era posible determinar c\u00f3mo y con qui\u00e9n se comparte la informaci\u00f3n que publican.<\/p>\n

\nConsumer Reports focuses on warnings about Facebook use<\/p>\n
When Consumer Reports writes about home appliances, it tells you their strengths and weaknesses, but I’ve never seen any dire warnings about how you can lose your hand if you stick it in a garbage disposal.<\/p>\n
Even when they review cars, they don’t fill their articles with awful statistics about how thousands die each year as a result of drunk or reckless driving. With all the reviews on smartphones, I’ve yet to see a headline warning people about eavesdroppers.
\nYet, when this popular consumer magazine decided to about Facebook, it focused extensively on how users could possibly jeopardize their own privacy, even though — based on their own statistics — the vast majority of users have mostly positive experiences with the social networking site.<\/p>\n
The story appears online and in the June issue of Consumer Reports.
\nIt’s certainly true that some Facebook users post things they later regret — just like some people use phones to say things they wish they could take back. It’s also true that some people are careless about their privacy settings — just like some drivers fail to use seat belts. And just as things sometimes go wrong with even the highest rated appliances, there are, of course, going to be some people who have bad experiences with

Even Consumer Reports itself has a Facebook page where, according to their article, they \u00abhost live chats with our experts, share articles, and query visitors to help in our reporting.\u00bb They also \u00abbought ads on Facebook to tell users about our activities.\u00bb
\nThe magazine spoke with privacy advocates about what can possibly go wrong and its first — and rather obvious — conclusion was that \u00absome people are sharing too much.\u00bb Based on a survey, it extrapolated that 4.8 million Americans have shared where they are going and that 4.7 million had \u00abliked\u00bb a page about a health condition. What they didn’t mention was that this represents about 3 percent of the 150 million U.S. users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
