Teen Hacks for Obfuscating Identity on Social Media

It turns out our kids were listening to our caution about privacy, social media, and opsec. There is widespread use by teens “sharing” social media accounts with friends, i.e., having friends post to shared accounts: multiple phones, multiple locations (even globally) to confuse social media applications and obfuscate their identity. They figured out how to share accounts without sharing passwords and methods for monitoring accounts and deleting abusers in the group. They use different accounts for interacting with different groups, like that one they share with “old people.”

Father-daughter presenters, Russell and Samantha, will discuss the pro’s and con’s of these methods and share insights on what teenagers have learned from parents and from each other about privacy and opsec.
