FTC: Parents, Beware of Online Social Networks

Posted by: kegill on: 30 June 2006

FTC Commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour told the House Energy and Commerce Committee that sexual predators are poised to “use the information that children provide on social networking sites to identify, contact, and exploit them, unless these sites are constructed to reduce access to this information, or users themselves take steps to limit unwanted access.”
