英国过半父母用Facebook窥探孩子隐私

如今Facebook、Myspace这类网站和微博网站Twitter在青少年中非常受欢迎。来自国家统计局的数据显示，去年16至24岁的年轻人中，在这类网站上发布信息的人占到了75%。

The majority of 13-16-year-olds have more than 100 ‘friends’ on Facebook whilst more than 750,000 are using the website below the age limit, which is 13.

大多数13至16岁的使用者在Facebook上有超过100个“好友”。还有75万多使用者不足13岁，没有达到网站规定的使用年龄。

Experts and parents however have expressed anxiety about how they can monitor what the young are up to when they go on-line. Now it appears that parents, at least are taking matters into their own hands.

怎么才能知道孩子上网时在做些什么呢？专家和父母们都对这个问题感到很焦虑。不过现在看来，至少父母们已经开始亲自出马了。

Whilst 55% said they did spy on their children, 40% said they did not but the remaining 5% said they would do if they knew how.

55%的父母称自己的确窥探过孩子的隐私，40%的人说没有这么做过，其余5%的人说，如果他们知道如何窥探孩子隐私的话，他们也会那么做。

Some 41% monitor their children’s status updates and 39% look at their ‘wall’, which is where they and friends can write things. Just under one third, 29%, looked at pictures their children had uploaded.
