In a 2012 follow up to a 2006 survey, The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project found that:
- 91% of teens posted a photo of themselves online (up from 76%)
- 53% posted their email address on social media (up from 29%)
- 20% posted their phone number (up from 2%)
But that doesn’t mean the information is widely available.
- 60% of teen Facebook users had set their profiles to “private”, and 89% of them indicated that adjusting their profile privacy setting was (at worst) “not too difficult”.
