Facebook drops from 8 million new users to 320k in one month

Looks like Facebook's privacy issues have possibly affected their new account sign-ups.

Facebook's American growth almost completely halts, primary demographic actually starts leaving

• In May 8 Million new users joined Facebook
• In June the privacy issues come to a boil and only 320,000 news users joined

Now here's something to sink your teeth into: take a look at the graph below. It comes from a long series of demographic and growth reports by Inside Facebook. It illustrates that, in June 2010, only 320,000 Americans joined Facebook -- but more importantly, it shows that 250,000 of the primary 18-to-44-year-old demographic actually left Facebook.

So, from 8 million to 320,000 in just one month. Is Facebook actually reaching saturation in the USA, or are we looking at a graph that perfectly illustrates the repercussions of pissing all over our privacy?

We'll have to wait for the July figures to find out!
