[quote=Anonymous]I am very interested in hearing perspectives on this, as I have thought about posting something similar. In my case, I am the aunt to a high school senior who has a twitter account permitting public access. Her Twitter account name is not her real name, but a spin on it- which I stumbled upon when she mentioned she no longer uses Facebook but something called Tumblr. Like someone else said, I thought it would be cool to see what she's into, etc. I have never told her that I found her on Tumblr or Twitter. I have not told her parents that I found her on those accounts. I think I need to 1) tell her that I found her, and use it as an example for her to think about whether she wants to change her privacy settings. 2) decide whether to discuss with her parents, a la.... FYI....not sure if you're aware but she has those two accounts 3) bring up with her or her parents some things she's tweeted. My niece is a great person and we have a fantastic relationship. I think she is testing boundries and I think that is totally normal for her age and recall doing the same things myself. We have had some basic discussions about social media and how information put out there can be detrimental (to your employment, relationships, etc). But I still think she needs more of a filter on what she is tweeting about or others are tweeting about her. Sorry to hijack, but I'd appreciate additional input. [/quote]
