Yes, Facebook. If they ever go to a friend's house and they have a computer, or go to school...kids in my church get on Facebook at school all the time, either with no effort or I hear them talking about how to get around blocks with proxies, and these aren't the geeks, these are the "normal", average tech knowledge kids.
- tptacek 16y agoMy kids are in an especially unfortunate (for them) situation vis a vis their ability to circumvent parental controls. Sure, they can try to use a Facebook account entirely from their friends house, but why bother? There's so little value in doing it that way that the cost of slipping up just once demolishes it.

The average child doesn't do an in-depth cost-benefit analysis before deciding whether to disobey his/her parents. With the right mix of peer pressure and childlike impulsiveness, your children will have Facebook accounts in no time.

- tptacek 16y agoYes, and by that logic, will also surely be smoking, drinking, smoking up, and whatever else they've made after school specials about. Human trafficking? Overly-leveraged options speculation? My point here is just, unlike a lot of parents, I'm pretty well situated to control my kids use of the Internet.
