[quote=Anonymous]Here's why I think reading texts/social media posts is different from invading privacy: the consequences of what people write electronically are HUGE. People get fired, un-admitted from colleges, banned from teams, for even things like "liking" a racist post, regardless of its intent of history. I let my kids know I will read their texts periodically because I want to make sure they're not taking undue risks. I tell them I will never bring up anything I read that I think they don't want me to know (my DD has no idea I know how she's tried to pursue a crush.) But I did mention to my 7th grader, "When you tell your friend, 'Suck it, b***,' you are risking that friend's parents not wanting you in their kid's life. And please learn this stuff now when the stakes are low. [/quote]
