Title: Facebook Shouldn't Wall Off Minors
Post by: TechNews on Jun 25, 2011, 09:02 PM
 Neelie Kroes, EC vice president for the digital agenda, has expressed concern that most social networking sites don't make younger users' profiles private by default. "I am disappointed that most social networking sites are failing to ensure that minors' profiles are accessible only to their approved contacts by default. I will be urging them to make a clear commitment to remedy this in a revised version of the self-regulatory framework we are currently discussing. This is not only to protect minors from unwanted contacts but also to protect their online reputation." she said.
