It’s just data
Emily Nussbaum: it may be time to consider the possibility that young people who behave as if privacy doesn’t exist are actually the sane people, not the insane ones. [via Stephen O’Grady]
The persistent and searchable are but only a small percentage of the teenage online experience: texting, IM, and away messages dominate in at least my children’s circle of friends.
My kids are still “talking about things on the playground” and “smearing yogurt on a table”.... but if you don’t think IMs are searchable, check your google search plugin. IMs are usually logged.

My kids are on AOL IM” doesn’t matter. [link]
OK, but even so, I still submit that allowing the recipient to store and search the chats is still a world of difference from allowing random classmates, stalkers, and potential future employers from accessing this data.
