The fears of a generation have been confirmed, as a new survey reveals that more than 50% of parents use social media as a way of spying on their children—and that even more would do so if they knew how.

The survey of 2,000 British parents, carried out by OnePoll, found that 55% of respondents use social media to track their kids' online activities, with a further 5% admitting that, if they knew how to do the same thing, they would.

Furthermore, 11% of those polled admit they created a Facebook profile purely to track their children, with 13% saying that they have logged onto friends' accounts to check up on their children, some doing so after attempting to friend their offspring and being rejected—15% of those polled have tried to friend their kids on Facebook, with 4% of them getting rejected.

My moms my friend on facebook, she doesn't care what I post. She does her stuff, farmville and all those games, and she comments on my stuff that pertains to her and stays away from my stuff that doesn't. :thup:

So is this article in favor of Google+ or Facebook? These guys are at war and we need to keep track of the score. . .
