Facebook loosens privacy policy on teens' posts - latimes.com - 0 views

  • The giant social network on Wednesday lifted restrictions on kids ages 13 to 17 that kept them from sharing information with people they do not know. Until now, teens' posts on Facebook could be viewed only by friends and the friends of their friends.
  • Critics say loosening privacy restrictions on Facebook puts teens at risk.
  • As part of the changes, teens now can also let people "follow" them on Facebook and see posts that are made public, similar to Twitter.

  • To parents and teens, Facebook is claiming they are giving them more options to protect their privacy. But in reality, they are making a teen's information more accessible, now that they have the option to post publicly," Chester said. "Today's announcement actually removes a safeguard that teens currently have."
  • Teens who choose to change their settings will be asked twice with a pop-up notification whether they are sure they want to share information broadly, Facebook said.
  • Research from the Pew Research Center has found that although teens are sharing more information about themselves on social media than they have in the past, they are taking steps to protect their privacy.
