In their paper, "Facebook Privacy Settings: Who Cares" (2010, Boyd & Hargittai) examine the attitudes and practices of a cohort of 18– and
19–year–olds surveyed in 2009 and again in 2010 about Facebook’s privacy
settings.
The results challenge widespread assumptions that youth do not care about and are not engaged with navigating privacy.
Boyd and Hargittai find that, while not universal, modifications to privacy settings have increased during a year in which Facebook’s approach to privacy was hotly contested.
