Recently, though, she has had second thoughts.Concerned about her career prospects, she asked a friend to take down a photograph of her drinking and wearing a tight dress. When the woman overseeing herinternship(实习)askedto join her Facebook circle, Ms

Liu agreed, but limited access to her Facebook page. “I want people to take me seriously, she said.The conventional wisdom suggests that everyone under 30 is comfortable revealing every aspect of their lives online, from their favorite pizza to most frequent sexual partners. But many members of th
6、e tell-all generation are rethinking what it means to live out loud.While participation in social networks is still strong, a survey released last month by the University of California, Berkeley, found that more than half the young adults questioned had become more concerned about privacy than they
7、were five years ago mirroring the number of people their parents age or older with that worry.They are morediligent(勤奋的)than older adults, however, in trying to protect themselves. In a new study to be released this month, the Pew Internet Project has found that people in their 20s exert more contro

9、the study by Pew, which examines online behavior. Now you are responsible for everything.Theerosion(侵蚀)of privacy has become a pressing issue among active users of social networks. Last week, Facebook scrambled to fix a security breach that allowed users to see their friends supposedly private infor

In its telephone survey of 1,000 people, the Berkeley Center for Law and Te
13、chnology at the University of California found that 88 percent of the 18- to 24-year-olds it surveyed last July said there should be a law that requires Web sites to delete stored information. And 62 percent said they wanted a law that gave people the right to know everything a Web site knows about
14、them.That mistrust is translating into action. In the Pew study, to be released shortly, researchers interviewed 2,253 adults late last summer and found that people aged 18 to 29 were more apt to monitor privacy settings than older adults are, and they more often delete comments or remove their name
15、s from photos so they cannot be identified. Younger teenagers were not included in these studies, and they may not have the same privacy concerns. But anecdotal evidence suggests that many of them have not had enough experience to understand the downside to oversharing.Elliot Schrage, who oversees F

The action was sparked by a recent change to Facebooks settings that forced its more than 400 million users to choose to opt out of sharing private information with third- party Web sites
19、 instead of opt in, a move which confounded many of them.Mr. Schrage of Facebook said, “We try diligently to get people to understand the changes. But in many cases, young adults are teaching one another about privacy.Ms. Liu is not just policing her own behavior, but her sisters, too. Ms. Liu sent
20、a text message to her 17-year-old sibling warning her to take down a photo of a guy sitting on her sisters lap. Why? Her sister wants to audition for Glee and Ms. Liu didnt want the shows producers to see it. Besides, what if her sister became a celebrity? It brings to mind an image where if you bec
