Subject: [berkmanfriends] Where Teens Seek Online Privacy Advice - new
report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in collaboration with
the Berkman Center

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to share with you a new report by the Pew Internet
& American Life Project in collaboration with the Berkman Center on "Where
Teens Seek Online Privacy
Advice<http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Where-Teens-Seek-Privacy-Advice.aspx>".
The report - the fourth in a Pew/Berkman series with focus on youth privacy
issues - combines a number of quotes taken from focus group interviews
conducted by our Youth and Media team with Pew data from a nationally
representative phone survey of parents and their teens, with a focus on the
use of social networking sites.

Many thanks to the Berkman team - especially Meredith Beaton and Paulina
Haduong - and our collaborators at Pew - especially Amanda Lenhart and Mary
Madden - for all the awesome and hard work on this report.

We invite you to share this report widely with colleagues, students,
friends, and others who may have an interest in this area, and we welcome
your feedback and comments.

WASHINGTON – (August 15, 2013) – Many teens ages 12-17 report that they
usually figure out how to manage content sharing and privacy settings on
their own. Focus group interviews with teens suggest that for their
day-to-day privacy management, teens are guided through their choices in
the app or platform when they sign up, or find answers through their own
searching and use of their preferred platform.

At the same time, though, a nationally representative survey of teen
internet users shows that, at some point, 70% of them have sought advice
from someone else about how to manage their privacy online. When they do
seek outside help, teens most often turn to friends, parents or other close
family members.

*About the Survey*

These findings are based on a nationally representative phone survey of 802
parents and their 802 teens ages 12-17. It was conducted between July 26
and September 30, 2012. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish
and on landline and cell phones. The margin of error for the full sample is
± 4.5 percentage points. In collaboration with the Berkman Center for
Internet & Society at Harvard, this report also includes insights and
quotes gathered through a series of in-person focus group interviews about
privacy and digital media, with a focus on social networking sites (in
particular Facebook), conducted by the Berkman Center’s Youth and Media
Project between February and April 2013. The team conducted 24 focus group
interviews with a total of 156 participants across the greater Boston area,
Los Angeles, Santa Barbara (California), and Greensboro (North Carolina).
