Researchers Claim Facebook Is 'Dead and Buried' To Many Young Users

JoeyRox writes "The recent decline in Facebook's popularity with teenagers appears to be worsening. A Global Social Media Impact study of 16 to 18 year olds found that many considered the site 'uncool' and keep their profiles alive only to keep in touch with older relatives, for whom the site remains popular. Researches say teens have switched to using WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Twitter in place of Facebook."

    And yet pricks would still feel the need to take cheap shots at others with different political views than themselves, often in the name of tolerance and progress. Great future.
