Lying about age on Facebook?
I recently read article about kids lying about age on Facebook
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/12/techno...d=all&_r=0 I'm wondering what the fuss is all about, kids lie to Facebook about their age and get registered, good kids don't lie and must wait. Ergo don't be good kid :twisted: It's crucial to learn kids art of lie and deception, because better be winner than loser. People who bend the rules to their needs, generally have a better life and earn more Ads |

Giving out birth date is a personal security breech.

Not my problem. It's their parents' responsibility. Letting young children surf without supervision is a mistake as far as I'm concerned. If a parent lets a child sign up on a site when they are underage, they should lose the right to hold the site owner liable for any damages that might result from the membership. The people that the article talks about could sue the guy who put a picture of their kid on porn sites, and they could possibly sue the porn site for publishing those pictures. But I don't think they have anything on Facebook since they let their kid lie about his age in order to sign up.

Honesty is always the best policy. Always. Bending rules is a temporary fix only.
That said: I refuse to teach my kids to lie. I am the parent you see. So what I say, goes. They will not - and have not had a facebook or any other social networking account until I say so. And when I do allow it, it's on my terms, not theirs. I get access to all accounts, I get their userids and passwords, I can log in whenever I choose and I'm also a friend. I don't hide the fact that I'm the parent. This goes for anything online. Offline too. Most of their friends think I'm pretty cool. That's because I'm the parent. I am not a friend and it makes a big difference. |
