Teens,
Privacy, and Online Social Networks -
are teens revealing too much online?
A
new Pew Internet and American Life Project study,
Teens, Privacy, and Online Social Networks
examines how teens protect their privacy in
this age of online social networking. Two-thirds
of teens with online profiles restrict access
in some way, most by not including their last
names or cell phone numbers. However, 79% include
a picture of themselves, mostly girls and half
identify their schools. According to the study,
two-thirds of the teens believed that a motivated
person could identify them with the information
provided online.
