Public Security & Social Media Infographic
A new survey of 2,057 British adults,carried out by online polling firm, YouGov, for SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, finds that nearly half of the British public(48%) would be prepared to share personal data with the police in return for enhanced personal security against criminal or terrorist attacks.
“This confidence in sharing when there is a clear security benefit contrasts with public wariness about groups knowing where they are,or using the information they’ve posted online,”says Mark Gibson, sales and marketing director EMEA & Asia Pacific, Public Security, SAS.
The survey also reveals that many British adults are not aware that other groups are likely to use the information they post online. According to Gibson,“our survey shows that nearly half (42%) of online British adults use social media websites at least once a day. Yet many don’t realise that by doing so they’re likely to be sharing data with a range of other groups.”
