Are teens giving fake updates on their Facebook
accounts so parents won’t know what they are up to? Teens are getting savvier when
it comes to the web and wanting more privacy from their parents. They know that many parents have Facebook
accounts and they can check up on them through Facebook. So teens are jumping
over to Twitter knowing that many parents don’t have accounts and aren’t as
familiar with how Twitter works.
On Twitter, teens can choose if they want everyone
to see their tweets or only a specific group of friends. This gives teens an advantage to hide certain
activities from prying eyes. Many teens set their privacy settings to only allow
a close circle of friends to receive their tweets. Furthermore, teens can use anonymous
handles and set-up multiple accounts specifying which friends receive which tweets.
The question is, how much privacy should teens
have in the digital age?
