Teenagers, for the most part, are not equipped to deal with more sophisticated adults.

This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Mark Zuckerberg apparently has no children although he just got married (to a female!) last year. So right now, the intent is profits not those antique “tired ethics” that would regard exploitation of children as wrong. While Facebook (probably) won’t face legal problems for the childhoods damaged, the term ‘enabler’ will be applicable!

Myspace dropped age requirements from 18 down to 13 just before they sold it to Newscorp. Had to boost the user base to get maximum price.

“teenagers are expert at controlling who they share things with
That’s right. Except that half the time, the person(s) they are sharing with turns out to be not quite the person(s) they thought they were sharing with. They don’t yet have the experience or intuition to know when to back away from something or someone.
