has
found, *Agence France-Presse* reports. Seven in 10 said they think their
personal data is less secure than five years ago, while only six percent
said it is more secure. In terms of how they feel about their privacy, 79
percent said they are not comfortable with the handling of their
information by private firms, and 69 percent said the same of the
government. Additionally, 72 percent of Americans feel that much of what
they do online or while using their mobile phone is being tracked by
advertisers, technology firms or other companies. The study also showed
that 69 percent said they believe companies are tracking them offline at
least some of the time, and 56 percent fear government entities may be
doing the same. The Pew report — which comes in the midst of rising debate
in Washington on privacy legislation as well as follows the implementation
of more stringent European data protection laws — is based on a survey
participated in by 4,272 U.S. adults.
