Despite taking these privacy-protective actions, teen social media users do not express a high level of concern about third-parties (such as businesses or advertisers) accessing their data ..."

I use Mutt, Tin, Windows XP Pro. SP3, analog speakers, analog bone conduction hearing aid (don't want digital with implants), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, don't own a mobile phone, VCR to connect my desktop Windows PC to my 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from January 1996, PS/2 clicky keyboards and optical mice, etc. Why? Because they still work for me. I will upgrade when I need to replace them or whatever. It also helps to save money. I don't care about the latest expensive and buggy stuff. Frak them.

Same here. I still use a 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from 1/2006, VCR (only for connecting with a HTPC and DVR), Casio Data Bank (DB) 150 calculator watch, analog bone conduction hearing aid, analog speakers, dial-up modem (back up Internet when cable goes down), etc. They all work fine from. I don't need the latest stuff! I don't even own a mobile phone! Bah to tablets too.
