44% YOUNG AMERICANS DELETED FACEBOOK APPS FROM THEIR PHONES
Many Americans have reacted to the recent Facebook issues with privacy and spreading of fake news by reducing the amount of time they spend on this platform. A part of them even deleted the app from their phones, claims a recent study.
According to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center, 54% of Facebook users over the age of 18 have changed privacy settings after the rumors that Facebook provided their data to their partners, including Cambridge Analytica.
The study also claims that 42% of Facebook users made a break in visits, while a quarter of users deleted the Facebook app from their phones.
Furthermore, according to the study, the age of the users is a big factor in users’ choice to delete the app. As much as 44% of young users of the app (between 18 and 27 years of age) have deleted the app in the recent months, while only 12% of those older than 65 did the same. However, older users are in the majority when it comes to changing privacy settings on the platform.

COCA-COLA REVIEWS MEDIA PLANNING AND BUYING IN THE UK
The Coca-Cola Company has placed under review its Great Britain and Ireland media planning and buying account, currently held by MediaCom.
The WPP media agency will be defending the account, which it won five years ago from Dentsu Aegis-owned Vizeum.
The review, which is at an early stage, puts into play duties on big brands including Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta, Oasis and Schweppes.
Whichever agency walks away with the account could benefit from additional business in future should Costa Coffee join the Coca-Cola stable of brands.
