Two thirds of people in the UK won’t share their photographs online because they’re worried about privacy.
That follows widely publicised hacks of different social networking products including Twitter and Facebook.
A survey conducted by Berland on behalf of KatchUp showed that while 82 percent of families believe keeping in touch with each other is most important, the most common way people share photos using email, at 59 percent.
Other worries about sharing photos online include the time taken to filter photographs (49%), a fear of their data being collected by the social media (33%) and a dislike of advertisements (17%).
Two out of five people said they were worried about what the rest of their family could come across on social networking accounts.
As many as 59 percent of British people only want an inner circle of people to see photographs on social media.
And 38 percent and 30 percent of people thought it was “inappropriate” to share christening and photos of children.
