Cam Barrett knows the precise date of her first menstrual period. Her mother posted the news on Facebook. Barrett, who lives in Illinois, is part of a growing movement of young people who are urging lawmakers to protect children whose parents monetize their private lives on social media.
I ignore the request and if they say something about it I just tell them I basically never go on it. Anything I post is private so from the outside it looks like an abandoned account. I hope.
It’s definitely a quandary some people can be put in. “Do I friend my boss on Facebook and watch what I say on Facebook or do I pretend I don’t use Facebook and never accept and watch what I say so they don’t know I use it or do I turn them down and tell them I don’t want to friend them on Facebook?”

In my case that’s not a problem, but I can see where that could be an issue.

You can put them in a restricted group that doesn’t really let them see anything.
Or at least you could, I haven’t really used Facebook in years.
