Data were collected from 770 tertiary students in public and private universities in Malaysia by using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was design in online form and distributed via online platform too. Convenient sampling method was adopted for data collection purposes. By using structural equation modelling (SEM), the findings revealed that there are three factors which are effort expectancy, social influence and perceived risks that significantly affected the users’ trust of Facebook. Besides, the factor, privacy concerns was significantly influencing the perceived risks of users. The continuance intention in Facebook utilization was significantly affected by users’ trust
