Educated Germans avoid social media

Maybe social media is seen as a waste of time? While you're reading facebook, you're not producing anything.

I think it's safe to say that it's not a matter of a recreational activity vs. "producing something". I think it rather has to do with the fact that Germans are very privacy conscious. Facebook (and other American application providers) have a pretty bad rep.

Indeed.

And, additionally, there are also those people who are still stuck on studiVZ.
