# Risk Perceptions on Social Media Use in Norway
## 5 Analysis and Results
### Security Routines on Social Media
#### 5.1.3 Privacy Settings  
In the questionnaire, the respondents were asked if they had changed their privacy settings. A total of 301 people said that they had changed their privacy settings to reduce exposure, and 28 people had left them as is.  
Regarding the changing of privacy settings, we also asked to what degree that they had limited the visibility of their account N = 329, Figure 6. As seen in the figure, most people have limited the visibility of their information to a high degree. Furthermore, the one thing that people have tried to limit the most seems to be who can see their contacts, with about 84% of people rating their degree of limiting their contact visibility to 3 or 4. For all the different privacy increasing measures that can be done there seems that at the least 55% of people chose 3 or 4 as the degree that they had tried to limit visibility on their profiles, with stopping search engines from showing the profile as the least \"important\" one.  
Furthermore, when comparing the groups we find that the group that has suffered account hacking score consistently lower on all variables regarding visibility on social media, Table 11. Additionally, there are significant differences between natives and non-natives when we compare privacy settings on the variables _contact info_ and _posts_ with the natives having stricter settings. There are also differences between males and females on _friends and followers_ (\(p=0.05\)) and _profile visibility to search engines_ (\(p=0.006\)), with males having stronger restrictions on these variables.
