Poll:People trust IRS than FACEBOOK

Who do you trust with your personal
information?
If you’re anything like me, your answer
doesn’t include anything resembling a
social media website or government
entity.
We’re not alone in our distrust. A recent
survey from Reason.com asked “Which
of the following do you trust the most
with your personal information?”
The answer:
• The Internal Revenue Service or
IRS: 35 percent
• The National Security Agency or
NSA: 18 percent
• Google: 10 percent
• Facebook: 5 percent
• None: 28 percent
• Don’t Know: 3 percent
• Refused: 1 percent
That’s right—people trust the IRS more
than the NSA or, somewhat shockingly,
Facebook and Google when it comes to
their personal information.
Asked who they think is most likely to
violate their privacy, respondents
answered overwhelmingly NSA, with 36
percent saying NSA was most likely to do so. Facebook was No. 2 on the list, at 26 percent.I’m a bit curious about the 1 percent that refused to answer. Does that mean they fear Reason.com shouldn’t be trusted with our personal information?
Whatever the case, asking anything
personal on Facebook appears to
increasingly be a no-no. Take note,
brands.
