To Reduce Facebook’s Harms to Teens, Target its Data-Hungry Business Model, we write in @techpolicypress
At the heart of how content is curated and shown to teens and other people on Instagram, is the company’s extensive and invasive data collection.
I am getting two different view points with regard to teens and data / privacy
one aisw is that they don't care about privacy
another side of this is that some do (at least a few who attend code club do) , and I guess there are quite a few teens on the fediverse who DO care about privacy or maybe they just want their own space(s)
I think we need to determine how important privacy is to teens, but from them and then formulate a strategy accordingly
One of the paragraphs in the article posted earlier
has an young person 11 suggesting facebook is for old people (so suggesting anyone over 40 is elderly) but either way, younger people are using snapchat / tiktok so not sure if they are any better.
i see the issue arising is when they HAVE to interact with the real world, as employers, college, shops etc, who all (or mostly) use Facebook you are forced on to Facebook or you don't interact. .
We could do with some unbiased research to determine what people of different age groups want.
