Tech Savy Teens

Social Media Smarts


For many teens, maintaining a strong social media presence is all about sharing wacky videos with friends, posting fun photographs, or following their favourite bands and brands.  



  They're Watching You: Personal Privacy on Social Media     


What they may not realize is that corporations are mining Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and other social media platforms for marketable data. Being too open on social media can also expose teens to other risks, such as identity theft. But this set has readers covered. They'll learn practical tips on how to be smart about personal privacy. A compelling, non-preachy main text and suggestions for further reading help teens get their social media fix while still playing it safe.
