What you have posited is totally believable. I remember my parents, in the 1970s, telling my brother and me to just shut up about what we heard at home about ... various topics relating to the U.S. Navy, or other adult issues. Kids don’t understand why you shouldn’t repeat what you hear.
In real life, the possible audience was very limited, but on Facebook ... everyone.
“In real life, the possible audience was very limited, but on Facebook ... everyone.”
So true. Indeed, I suspect there are many bosses pout there who make it a practice to view their employees’ and employees’ kids’ social media just to see what’s going and what they’re thinking. Also, if somebody has an antagonistic relationship with a fellow worker, a bit of social media viewing might be in order.
The more we correspond about this, the stronger my negative views of Facebook and Twitter become.
