visible to others on the Internet – whether we put it there ourselves or it
was placed there by friends, acquaintances or even completely strings.”

jargon found on social networks like Facebook and just take more control of
their online security, or is that the responsibility of parents? Or should
that actually be in the hands of services like Secure.me?
