Kid gloves 谨慎处理儿童问题 Small children are a big headache for the social network. 社交网络中的小鬼是个大问题。 ONE American in three aged 65 or older uses social networks, says a new report by the PewResearch Centre, a think-tank. But it is the small surfers, not the silver ones, who arecurrently making waves. Facebook is examining ways to allow children under the age of 13 touse its service, with some form of parental supervision. If this happens-and Facebookstresses that it has not yet decided whether to go ahead-it would be a venture intouncharted territory. 美国智库皮尤研究中心在新发布的一份报告中指出，美国65岁及其以上的老年人中有三分之一使用社交网络。但如今制造状况的却是年纪轻轻的冲浪者，而非满头白发的人。脸谱网将核准允许13岁以下的儿童在某种父母监管形式下使用其服务的方式。如果脸谱网的确将其付诸行动脸谱网强调它并未决定是否采取进一步的措施它将在一片未知领域中展开冒险。 Critics howl that young children lack the maturity to cope with social networks. They alsoworry that Facebook will find devious ways to make money from naive children or, morelikely, their parents. We would be giving the keys to the chicken coop to the fox, says DougFodeman of ChildrenOnline.org, a pressure group. |
