In the Opinion Facebook and contradicts NSA, adolescents are more aware of privacy than ever. But privacy is not to "keep everything for you." It is much more nuanced than that.
Think about when you were a teenager, when you form your identity. You had the identity that your parents taught you, but it was also the identity that you form with your friends. These are separate. They needed to be required separated.
teenagers is an excellent case study in private life because teenagers have always had a need to hide things from their parents during their formative years. as such, they have an innate and instinctive understanding of what privacy is :.
privacy is to have control of who gets to see what
There is not and never has been, is limited . to be able to keep secrets from you is about the ability to share secrets with people you choose to trust -. With people you select to trust (which, presumably, has never understood the NSA and the like)
Cory Doctorow mentions an interesting study found that adolescents with today are actually much more not less, aware of privacy that big people who regularly use Facebook. This contradicts the whole monitoring hawks story.
This is the behavior of a common adolescent is not only close the browser with Facebook when we go do something else. In fact, they turn off their entire profile -. "Resignation" of Facebook, which makes their profile, photos, and everything else totally inaccessible for friends, family, and everyone then they are not themselves to the computer
When you resign from Facebook, you have six weeks to change your mind before your profile is completely removed. So, the next time they connect to Facebook, they not resign and connect for a while. This is a remarkable level of effort to maintain privacy.
Doctorow notes that if this behavior probably overstates the need for privacy for parents and teachers, and underestimates the need for privacy to governments and future employers, it is clear without doubt reflexes and instincts of privacy are there.
This brings enormous hope. Teenagers growing up today are not careless with their privacy. On the contrary - they are far away more privacy conscious than their older peers. And they know that privacy is more than just keep things to yourself; it is about determining who can see what.
Privacy remains your own responsibility.
