Will Facebook’s new teen privacy settings keep younger users safer?

Steve Woda, CEO of uKnow.com -- a firm that provides social media monitoring of kids’ accounts -- shared these pointers for teens and their parents to keep everyone cyber safe:

• Insist on transparency: Parents should help their teens set up their accounts including choosing settings.
• Remember to block and ignore: Woda suggests that children be taught to ignore such posts and block anyone who continues negative campaigns such as recruiting others to become cyber bullies.
• Remember, it’s not just your kid: Although most kids are not cyber bullies and don’t knowingly post inappropriate content, they may be swayed by others. That’s why it’s imperative for parents to understand the workings of the social media sites.
