A recent EU Kids Online Survey found that parents who actively mediate their child’s internet use lower risk and, most importantly, lower harm.
Active mediation of use means:
• Parents talk to their child about the internet,
• Stay nearby or sit with them while they go online,
• Encourage them to explore the internet, and
• Share online activities with them.

A growing trend among teens is to create and manage two Facebook accounts. One account is provided to parents. To that account, teens add family members, close friends, and act civilly. With a second account, not disclosed to parents, teens add anyone as a friend, can speak “openly” and can engage in behavior they don’t want mom to know about. It becomes a new universe to explore privately. Delete the scoop?

Federal Trade Commission are investigating whether firms are in breach of existing laws and says little progress made on ensuring children are protected.
"While we think most companies have the best intentions when it comes protecting kids' privacy, we haven't seen any progress when it comes to making sure parents have the information they need to make informed choices about apps for their kids. In fact, our study shows that kids' apps siphon an alarming amount of information from mobile devices without disclosing this fact to parents," FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz said. Via alistairm

Much of the anxiety around tweens and social media lies in the fear that they don’t care about or understand privacy settings. Parents worry that kids will either willingly or unintentionally expose themselves to dangerous anonymous predators, or that they don’t fully understand that the information they share about themselves can be used against them. But tweens are much more savvy about their privacy settings than adults give them credit for, even when it comes to subtleties of “frenemies” dynamics, according to a small, qualitative study by researchers at the Harvard Graduate School of Education that’s forthcoming in the journal Delete the scoop?
