This should not be on the front page. I can only assume that because the readership wants facebook to go down, they're happy to uplift any story that suggests that they are.
Look at this articles sources.
>"... you don’t want their mom to yell at you,” my 15-year-old son told me.
>My 17-year-old daughter told me about a friend with an aunt who routinely lurks around her niece’s Facebook account.
>one of my daughter’s high-school friends explained.
>or prompts to answer "questions about me." Renaud, a 19-year-old Facebook user at McGill University in Montreal (ok this one is reasonable)
>one of my son’s friends emailed
>another of my daughter’s friends complained.
I've got some problems with this article as well
1. Parents. this was clearly written by an isolated one.
2. Too much pointless stuff.
3. Too many ads. It's like this was designed specifically so people would be click baited.
4. It's Vapid. As if there is no substance to this article at all.
5. Fake friends. (this one is a guess)

- GhotiFish 13y agoInteresting. You actually think this is worth material for HN? Personally I felt bad about that comment, because it was shooting fish in a barrel, but it seems those fish needed to be shot.
