Facebook\u2019s new Timeline has been around for about six months now, and people are still having a negative reaction to some of the features. For example, 88{7e4ee7cd997d36f6dec43befd6b19c37edf0959bbf61766e988f901dd91e96d7} of users are concerned about the privacy of the information that\u2019s included on their Facebook profiles because of Timeline\u2019s ability to track a person or company all the way to birth.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Webroot\u2019s survey included over 1,600 Internet users, ages 18 and up, in many parts of the world. The most overwhelming responses among survey participants were complaints about how Timeline is not optional and has a mandatory automatic opt-in.<\/p>\n

However, half of the people who lodged complaints about Facebook\u2019s new Timeline haven\u2019t actually taken any action to privatize their information. Facebook allows a user to change their privacy settings so that information that a user doesn\u2019t want to share with the public is hidden. The new security settings even allow a user to hide information from specific friends and relatives.<\/p>\n

Some people did take action and adjusted their Facebook activities and information displayed on Timeline: around 17{7e4ee7cd997d36f6dec43befd6b19c37edf0959bbf61766e988f901dd91e96d7} deleted posts, statuses, and pictures. Most of the people who did delete and hide information did so because they \u201cdidn\u2019t want a prospective employer or current employer to see what they did on Facebook\u201d.<\/p>\n

The people who participated in the survey weren\u2019t just concerned with Facebook\u2019s privacy settings, however. Over 80{7e4ee7cd997d36f6dec43befd6b19c37edf0959bbf61766e988f901dd91e96d7} were also concerned with privacy of information on their Google accounts, which often contain data like addresses, names, and phone numbers.<\/p>\n

Even though users are still having issues with Timeline, businesses are thriving. Many large businesses such as Target and Honda are reporting growth in user engagement, and even small businesses are benefitting from Timeline.<\/p>\n
