Facebook making safety environment for its Teen users in Graph Search


As Facebook started its latest search app, Graph search (might be for few users and only in few country), it has done some upgraded coding to help its users.


Facebook has coded some special rules into Graph Search to make sure shady adults can’t stalk minors. Facebook clarified that searches that could identify kids under 18 by age or location won’t return any results for strange adults.

“On Facebook, many things teens are likely to do – such as adding information to their timelines or sharing status updates – can only be shared with a maximum of Friends of Friends. In addition, for certain searches that could help to identify a young person by age or by their location, results will only show to that person’s Friends, or Friends of Friends who are also between the ages of 13-17.”

As Facebook says, People should check their Activity Log and About sections to make sure they’re sharing the right info with the right people. And if they spot something sketchy on the social network, they should report it.

Graph Search has lots of practical uses, from photo browsing to business discovery to finding friends to hang out with on vacation. But if Facebook doesn't convince the world it’s not creepy, it could shoot Graph Search in the foot before it’s even up and running.

TechCrunch has more.
