I don't have any personally identifiable information anywhere online, so no matter how skilled they were they wouldn't be able to!

I friended my mom on Facebook (we don't live together so it's the best way to keep in touch), so of course she reads it. That said, she doesn't speak English and all my other friends do, so there's a very easy way to make sure she doesn't read what I don't want her to read...

Nah. I usually forward my parents links to some particularly amusing forum discussions. I keep my behavior pretty clean, so they have nothing to worry about.

I only have facebook so people wont ask me to get it. I use it prolly once a month to reply to sombody if they go out of there way to directly message me. I really just prefer email or msn much more reliableand you dont have to have a browser running either which is nice.

my mother once asked me how to get the cd out of the computer. the risk is pretty low. But my aunt once complained to her about my spooky profile picture

<---exhibit A

i laughed

i technically wouldnt care if they figured out how to "spy" on my FB. Why should i. nothing to hide there.they know me and i am too lazy to pretend to be different in their presence.

they dont have a reason to use Facebook anyway and the only chance they could see what i do there is if they add my brothers to see what i reply to their posts. They still couldnt see anything else as long as i wouldnt add them. And why in the name of the seven hells should i add my parents? i see them all the time, there is no need for online shenanigans

I most certainly would not change any on-liabits for the benefit of my parents if they were watching. If they don't like what they see of my on-line presence, then by all means they can stop watching.

If my mom was facing my books she'd be looking at an empty wall.

Oh wait were talking about facebook, yeah my mom has a facebook and so does my dad and I know for a fact that they creep on it because half the time they leave comments on my statuses or like my pictures or something like that. but it doesn't bother me because I have nothing to hide from them because they already know everything.

A recent survey seems to confirm the worst fears of today's youth: your mom is probably trying to read your facebook. And if she can't figure out how to do it, she probably wishes she could.

Code:
The survey of 2,000 British parents, carried out by OnePoll, found that 55% of respondents use social media to track their kids' online activities, with a further 5% admitting that, if they knew how to do the same thing, they would.

I don't use the book of faces myself, but I met one young lady of asian descent that keeps a secret account under a pseudonym specifically to hide her activities from her parents. I thought she was exaggerating.
My question is, would you change your online habits if you knew your parents were watching?
Not too long ago, my Mom called out to me from her room. She was on her Facebook toy-I mean iPad, and she had spotted a tagged photo of my sister smoking. My sister is 32 years old. I gently reminded my mother of this. The funny thing is, I've found, without looking, recent photos of her drinking, and a couple of years ago drinking literally almost killed her. She had severe liver failure and almost left us. But apparently the smoking is a big deal.

A few days later, one of a series of fake radio ads put on by the local university ran. This one was along the lines of "Do you have a relative who's addicted to Facebook?" When the commercial posed the question, "Do they get in a tizzy over finding pictures of their adult children smoking cigarettes," I nearly had to pull off the road. And this wasn't even a funny joke, but contextually, it was hilarious.

Yes, Escapists, your mother is trying to access your facebook. ESPECIALLY if you're a teen. In other news, human kind has harnessed the power of the atom.

Since OP doesn't put his face in a book, I'll cut him some slack. It is incredibly easy to control who can see what on your facebook. There are limitations, but if you know what you're doing it's not hard. But if you're a 13 year old girl drinking with some twenty six year olds, you don't have much right to cry privacy.

In other news: I finally got around to seeing the movie. Badass. Jesse Eisenberg isn't just another Michael Cera. He may just turn out to be the next big character actor (though I think Sam Rockwell may have beat him to the punch). The score by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails with...someone I've never heard of wasn't the best post-industrial slightly rock-tinged minimalist score I've heard, but it was very good, especially within the context of the movie, much like Hans Zimmer's more recent work. And it was exceptionally strange to hear Nine Inch Nails doing an industrial remix of a very well known classical number. I'll be getting this on DVD soon.

My mom doesn't even know how to check her email most of the time...I doubt she could get onto facebook.

'cos I am a massive rebel, I have two FB accounts, one has my mummy on and the other has fwends.

I have some friends on the mummy one but it's very rare I post anything on it. My mum actually uses her FB a lot, mostly plays games at the moment she is addicted to a peggle rip off called "hot shots".

On my fwends one I just post whatever.

I am 22 so I really don't care if my parents see what I say on Facebook. The only time I had an issue with this is when one of my status' had "FUCK" in all caps. My mom asked me to take my grandma off my friend's list so she wouldn't see it. Lol.
