Objectives- it’s about safety
“ Children and young teens are especially vulnerable to the dangers that may lurk in the online environment. Now is the time we put children's privacy laws on the books, including an 'eraser button' tool for parents and children so that what kids say online does not come back to haunt them when they apply for college or jobs.”
Senator Ed Markeyhttp://www.multichannel.com/policy/markey-concerned-about-new-facebook-policy-teens/146133 October: 2013.
