CNN article posts article that contradicts story that youth do not care about privacy
In New Facebook privacy tip: Super log-off article, CNN points out that actually some people do care quite a lot about privacy and their online persona.
So what they are doing is restricting other's ability to influence the content of their FaceBook page, something that normally happens all the time. They make it stop by logging off the site.
People who are their friends have to wait until they are logged on, ask permission, before they can put anything on their wall.
So basically, influencing their Facebook page is like coming over to their house. You have to ask to come in before you can get inside someone's house. You have to ask permission before putting something on these FB user's page, even if you are their friend.
And one user in the story basically sandblasts her page free of socially posted content from others while she is logged in so that she can prevent "drama". By that she means fights with others who object to what other people have made appear on her page.
It sounds like a lot of hassle.
