One recent study of Facebook users published in Internet Research concludes that laziness contributes to the privacy paradox. The purpose of this study is to challenge the laziness explanation.

We first develop a research model which hypothesises the moderating effects of both laziness and external locus of control on privacy issues.

We then conduct a qualitative study to verify and develop the findings from the quantitative phase.</p>\u0000<h3>Findings</h3>\u0000<p>The privacy paradox holds true.
