Family interaction on Facebook reflects one of many possible types of relational connections
that may be facilitated through Facebook. The fact that young adult Facebook users in this sample
were more willing than reluctant to accept requests from their parents on Facebook may mean
that they had already adapted their privacy management practices, knowing that parents and other
types of individuals (such as future employers) may be trying to find more private information
about them on Facebook. Facebook has become a critical place to engage in proactive privacy
management because of its increased access and use by many segments of the population (Child
et al., 2011, 2012; Child & Petronio, 2011).
