I'm not sure losing that age group has much to do with Facebook's scandals.

This is purely anecdotal, but with my daughter and her social group, Facebook stopped being a service of interest to them quite a while back. Not because of data issues, but because (to use my daughter's words) "Facebook is for businesses and old people".

What does your daughter use to connect with friends? Just curious.

Probably less of a suite of tech like FB and more a bunch of small single-purpose apps like snapchat and instagram.
