kids will share tons of personal data
contact detail + intimacy online = dangerous
the complications with calling something public a "journal"
separating personal disclosure from personal data
recognizing social context of computer use, so automatic login is not necc good
create atmosphere where privacy is valued and expected/promoted
importance of role-playing to teens/kids
: physical appearance
: "trying on" identities
: or competitive role-playing
identity play
: sometimes sexually uncomfortable for parents
: learning through doing
SELF EXPRESSION
: likes and dislikes as concrete
: minor differences are important
: representing mood (girl)
: socially acceptable choices (boy)
: "natural self-description"
: dogster/pets sites
FRIENDSHIP AND GROUPS
: social symbols have meaning
: "jessica" - belonging and popularity --> involvement
: "jake": belonging but also differentiation --> reassurance
: lying for acceptance, lying for self-protection
: like to join/start a group alongside other people they consider friends
: existing socsof plays to insecurities
: and dangerously collapses notions of friendship on and offline
: safety implications
: good one: ToonTown
[responsible representations: query, ethics blah blah, ]
european data protection act
implications for blogs/wikis
: picture based
: collecting THINGS
: structured entry
: prepopulated
: wikis are difficult b/c they're textbased and lacking in strong identification
moderation by parents
: use RSS syndication to hand moderation over to parents
: reactive and distributed
: actively engage parents
overmanagement of children development does not help
setting minimum standards
