Did some research, 8% of children as young as eight released their address/ phone number, 24% have posted a picture of their school or school uniform, and 39% of children released their last name (why is it that releasing your last name is a bad thing?) And yet 61% of eight year olds are aware of privacy settings, and have their account set to private on social media. You see how most people are aware of what to share and what not to share? These are just eight year olds.

There will always be someone who releases personal info, they could be 6 years old, or even 40! It's not just a "some children are gullible, some children aren't" I love probability, and when I see the statistics, I make my choice. (Although statistics can be misleading.)

Even more research: More than half of young people use privacy settings on social media. 61% have their account set to private, 21% have partial privacy settings, 10% are unsure about privacy settings, and 9% set their account to public. I have a lot more statistics, but I'm trying not to write a 10-page long essay.

This wiki doesn't have privacy settings, but we all know that most kids have social media. So if they can put on the privacy settings and keep quiet about their address, phone number, last name, school, or whatever, then they can keep quiet on this wiki.
