Teens Actually Care About Online Privacy

CowboyRobot writes "According to a new report by Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, more than half of American teenagers have steered clear of a mobile app due to worries about privacy. Some 56 percent of younger teens (ages 12 to 14) who use mobile apps avoid some apps after learning they had to share personal information to use it, while 49 percent of older teens (14 to 17) have. Also, teens who had at some point sought outside advice about privacy management were considerably more likely than those who had not sought advice to say that they had disabled location tracking features."

    What kind of a fucktard starts off a story with "teens actually care about online privacy"! Like it was no big deal until they found some people that had half a brain and do not like where the online world is headed. Who cares what fucking age they are?
