Latest Pew Report On Online Stranger Contact
From: Art Wolinsky <awolinsky@oii.org>
The latest PEW report on Teens and Online Stranger Contact was released on the 14th. Among the non-surprises were the facts that teens who create social profiles or post photos online are more likely to be contacted online by people they do not know and that girls are more likely to have unwanted encounters than boys.
While this might be classified as a "Doh!" moment, there's more to it than meets the mind and can serve as an obvious reminder to take a closer look at any statistics offered by anyone, including me. :-)
I've written more about it in my considerably neglected 3DWiredSafety blog at http://www.3dwriting.com/wiredsafety/blog/
