A poll of Facebook users by GfK Roper was released by Associated Press/CNBC on 15th May 2012.
The survey, found that 83 percent of Facebookers surveyed said they “hardly ever” or “never” click on Facebook ads, and more than half of them feel that Facebook is a "passing fad."
Part of that distrust, stemmed from concerns about privacy and the site's handling of user-created content, with three in five users surveyed saying they have little or no faith that the company will protect their data. Only 13 percent trust Facebook to guard their data; only 12 percent would feel safe making purchases through the site.
