[Air-L] Impending end of Facebook use among teens debunked

[Alejandro Tortolini]

IMHO, teens are being very selective when they interact in Facebook: they
use the chat and share photos; but when they need to talk things outside
the "older people" radar, they choose tools like Ask, forums, things that
parents usually don´t know. And this makes these sites specially good for
bad practices like cyberbulling, unfortunately...
Best,

Alejandro Tortolini.
