Last Wednesday, Facebook updated for the umpteenth time its privacy policy for this time, allow adolescents (13 to 17 years old) to make their updates completely public.
Before this last update, minors could only share their updates with their friends or with their friends' friends.
"Although only a small proportion of teenagers using Facebook would choose to publish content publicly, this update gives them the choice to share more openly, just like other social networks." The company says in a statement.
It is as if they told you that they are going to remove the traffic lights from your city because the Madrileños now do not use them either. It seems that we are again facing another chapter of the war that is being maintained between the different social media platforms. And in that desire to capture, or perhaps, avoid leaks from customers and advertisers, we have already raised one of the few "protection measures" that minors had.
"The teenagers are the ones who have more skill using social networks, and in terms of civic involvement, activism or their thoughts about a new movie, they want to be heard," we could read as well.
You see, do not say that Mr. Zuckerberg does not worry because our young people can tell half the world that the movie they went to see last weekend has seemed empty of content and that where you put the Polish black cinema or Pakistani documentaries that are removed from the Bull or twilight.
We return to what we explained a few days ago. As long as we don't get conscious and stop chasing the adult for what he did as a child, the children will remain in danger, at least his image. And taking into account that with this update it will no longer be necessary to have a teenager as a friend to be able to follow him and see what goes up to Facebook, you will tell me who benefits this measure ... white and in bottle ...
What do you think Facebook allows teenagers to make their updates public?
