Also anecdotal, but this past Thanksgiving I got into a chat with two nieces and a couple of their friends, all in the late-teen range.
They're really concerned about the amount of information these big data stores have on them.
They're worried even more that there is a government snoop checking in on them or another unknown.
Personally, I have gotten more and more leery of putting data online. I deleted my Facebook 7 years ago. Twitter is strictly read-only for me. I share kid pics directly with family via private storage I control.
Really needs to be a peer-2-peer suite of "social" tools that cut out middlemen as much as possible.
