Teen Privacy Settings on Facebook

Kaplan Test Prep conducted a survey about teens’ Facebook privacy settings that uncovered some very interesting results!

According to the survey, “of teens who say their parents are on Facebook, a much higher percentage (56%) provide their parents with full profile access – status updates, party photos and all – than with no access at all (34%). Only 9% of teens give their parents limited access.”

The Washington Post blog posted about these survey results yesterday, adding that, “In many households, if a teenager wants to create a profile on Facebook, he or she has to promise to friend mom or dad — and let their parents see all photos, wall posts, status updates, videos and friends.” (Disclosure: Kaplan is a subsidiary of The Washington Post Co.)

Does this ring true for your family’s Facebook experience? Are you friends with your child on Facebook, and do you have full access to his or her profile?
