ABSTRACT. Employing recent research results covering real-time data-driven technologies, and building our argument by drawing on data collected from Pew Research Center, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding % of Facebook users who say they think users have no/a little/a lot of control over the content that appears in their newsfeed and % of social media users who say it is acceptable for social media sites to use data about them and their online activities to recommend events in their area/recommend someone they might want to know/show them ads for products and services/show them messages from political campaigns (by age group). Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data.
