Pew study: Parents of teens online worry about ads, strangers

Parents are more worried about advertisers having access to their children's online data than about their children talking to strangers online, according to a report published today.
The Pew Internet Project and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University collaborated on the report, which is based on a survey if 802 parents of children aged 12 to 17 with questions about social-networking sites, namely Facebook. As more and more teens and pre-teens use social media as a part of their every day communications, the study finds that parents worried about a variety of online dangers -- it's no longer just about warning your kids not to talk to strangers.
The survey found that 81 percent of parents said they are concerned about how much information advertisers can learn about their teen's online behavior. When it came to their teens interacting with strangers online, 72 percent said they were concerned.
Parents were even less were worried about their children's reputation online, but not by much, according to the study. The survey asked if parents were concerned that something their teens posted online could ruin the teens' reputations, and if their behaviors online could end up affecting their academic or employment opportunities. Sixty-nine parents said yes to both scenarios.
Apparently, a teen's image has been a very real concern for a majority of the parents interviewed. Fifty-nine percent of parents whose teens use social-networking sites have talked to their teen because of something they've posted on their account.

Some of the parents took direct other action in an attempt to prevent online dangers -- reading privacy policies (44 percent), helping their child set up privacy settings on a social network (31 percent), and doing Internet searches to see what information is publicly available on their child (42 percent). Fifty percent of parents who have teens online, and not just those on social media, said they have used parental controls or other ways to block, filter, or monitor their child's online activities.
Overall, the report found that parents are increasingly joining social-networking sites to monitor their children's behavior. The percentage is up from 2011, according to the report, from 58 percent to 66 percent. Half of this growing group of social-media savvy parents join to comment or respond to posts to make sure their kids know they are watching.
"While parents may forge connections with their teens on social media in order to passively observe them, many are also actively engaging with their children and making their presence known," the report said.

Regulator targets online shopping

The OFT said online shopping technology is evolving quickly Continue reading the main storyRelated StoriesFears of 'web snooping database'The 'big data' revolution Listen UK regulators have begun seeking information on how firms may be monitoring online shoppers in order to target them with different prices.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) will consider how consumer data is collected and if any activities could be illegal.
The OFT said it wanted to gather more information in order to assess if the area needs investigating.
OFT chief executive Clive Maxwell said the ways in which data is collected and used was evolving rapidly.
"It is important we understand what control shoppers have over their profile and whether firms are using shoppers' profiles to charge different prices for goods or services," he said.
The OFT said it wanted to hear from any interested parties, including online retailers and software providers, and would publish its findings in spring 2013.
It will be consulting with international regulators, including the US Federal Trade Commission, on commercial uses of consumer data.
Businesses have sophisticated technology to monitor online behaviour, collect information about shopping habits and websites visited, and the services consumers have looked at.
Internet shopping is one of the retail sector's few growth areas, with the Office for National Statistics reporting on Thursday that online sales were 11% higher in October than a year earlier.
The OFT said it wanted to consider whether consumers understood and were aware of how their information was used when they go online, and whether some firms' activities were illegal.
Mr Maxwell said: "Innovation online is an important driver of economic growth. Our call for information forms part of our ongoing commitment to build trust in online shopping so that consumers can be confident that businesses are treating them fairly.
"We know that businesses use information about individual consumers for marketing purposes. This has some important potential benefits to consumers and firms. But the ways in which data is collected and used is evolving rapidly."
