12:18 am
revelations by the former n.s.a. man ad word snowden online they say they prefer to discuss those revelations in private conversations during a family dinner and so on and so forth and only forty two percent of facebook and twitter users were actually willing to discuss those issues online but that's only provided that these people knew that the people they were talking with would agree with them those who felt that they will not find understanding among their own lying discussion partners they did not go into those sensitive issues that the authors of the report are also lamenting that this may go beyond just social media that people who are not willing to discuss sensitive issues online are less likely to speak up even in their private life even in their offline life. reporting from new york city and the trend is even as our name now the spiral of
