Posted by msmash on from the good-riddance dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: All the bad press about Facebook might be catching up to the company. New numbers from Edison Research show an an estimated 15 million fewer users in the United States compared to 2017. The biggest drop is in the very desirable 12- to 34-year-old group. Marketplace Tech got a first look at Edison's latest social media research. It revealed almost 80 percent of people in the U.S. are posting, tweeting or snapping, but fewer are going to Facebook.

    It's the only way to be sure.

    Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter.. All of it.

      I deleted Facebook Feb 7 this year. I'm 73 and a retired IT guy.

      I was never cool.

      Until now. I got 17 cool points.
