Internet users are now less concerned with the amount of information available about them online, and the percentage of people who take steps to limit this online information has dropped over the last three years, says a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project.

Surprisingly, late teens and twentysomethings are actually more likely than their elders to engage in “reputation management” — limiting personal information available online, and that likelihood decreases with age.
