Facebook Will No Longer Protect Teens From Their Own Bad Judgment
On Wednesday, Facebook FB +3.85% announced a present for its teen users: the gift of greater publicity. Moving forward, Facebook’s many under-18 users will be able to kick their privacy to the curb just as easily as the site’s older users. Until now, Facebook restrained teens from posting status messages or photos “publicly,” a.k.a. to the whole world. The greatest publicity setting they could previously achieve was to share their content with “friends of friends.” Facebook has decided to stop playing privacy nanny, and let kids share as widely as they want.
