More NYers going private on Facebook NYU study finds 200 percent increase in Facebook privacy from 2010 to 2011 Manhattan users share the least Women more private than men online GETTY IMAGES

Manhattanites share the least on Facebook, according to a new study from New York University, while Queens residents are the most exposed. Researchers at NYU’s Polytechnic Institute announced a study yesterday that revealed more New Yorkers than ever are slashing what is publicly seen on their Facebook profiles. The number of users hiding their friend list increased more than 200 percent during a 15month period, according to the study, which will be presented next month at a Switzerland social networking conference. The most private Facebook users can be found in wealthy Manhattan enclaves, the researchers said, and the least private are in Queens. Researchers studied 1.4 million New York City Facebook profiles from March 2010 to June 2011, checking to see who hid what.

How’s your privacy?

In 2010, 17 percent of users hid their friend list, but 15 months later, that number increased to 53 percent, researchers found. Facebook users also chose to conceal other tidbits on their profiles, such as hometown, high school and relationship status. Women were more private than men, the researchers

found, with 55 percent restricting information in June 2011, compared to 49 percent of men. NYU professor Keith Ross, who led the study, said a Facebook redesign of privacy options might have contributed to the choice by many to conceal. ALISON BOWEN

Mourning a NY Times reporter gone too soon A memorial ceremony was held yesterday at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon for New York Times reporter Anthony Shadid. Shadid, who is of Lebanese descent, died last week in Syria of an asthma attack. The 43-year-old Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist had secretly entered the country to report on Syria's increasingly bloody crackdown on a pro-democracy revolt, and thousands of Times readers were shocked by his sudden death. New York Times Executive Director Jill Abramson attended yesterday's service, as did Times photographer Tyler Hicks, who was with Shadid when he died and carried his colleague's dead body into Turkey. Shadid will be remembered for covering two decades of Middle East turmoil. METRO
