Pew Research reports that of the 60 percent of U.S. adults who believe their data is being collected daily, “some 81 percent of the public say that the potential risks they face because of data collection by companies outweigh the benefits, and 66 percent say the same about government data collection.”
Seventy-nine percent of Americans “report being concerned about the way their data is being used by companies,” with 64 percent worried about the way the government uses their data.
Pew Research’s report also found that “79 percent of Americans say they are not too or not at all confident that companies will admit mistakes and take responsibility if they misuse or compromise personal information, and 69 percent report having this same lack of confidence that firms will use their personal information in ways they will be comfortable with.”
