※說明：第 21 至 25 題，請依照下列文章，選出最適當的答案。
It has become an accepted part of keeping up to date with extended family and friends, but according
to a recent survey, if schoolchildren were in their parents’ shoes, the majority wouldn’t share posts of their
sons and daughters online.
This survey investigated over 16,000 secondary school pupils, and over 65% said they would not
upload news about, or images of, their children to their social media feeds. While some were concerned
about being embarrassed or the longevity of content which could remain online indefinitely, others
expressed concern about their personal data being compromised. One of the pupils surveyed said,
“Although our parents mean well, sometimes the aftermath of a post can be disastrous.”
Joe Hancock, cyber security expert at law firm Mishcon de Reya, encouraged parents to share wisely.
“Simple steps,such as checking your privacy settings and asking others not to share content of your children
on their accounts if they have not updated their privacy settings, are a good start. And, as we found out from
the children during filming, having their consent is key,” he said.
The study marks a shift away from the usual debate about teaching children to use the Internet safely.
Sandra Davis, head of the law firm’s family department, said: “Children are the experts on the real and
immediate impact of ‘sharenting’ the full extent of which we cannot know yet. We must ensure we listen
to children and take their views into consideration now in order to avoid any unintended consequences
further down the line.”
【題組】25.Why does the author say this survey is a “shift away from the usual debate”?
(A) It focuses on unintended consequences rather than intended crimes.
(B) It shows the threat is a family problem rather than a social problem.
(C) It discusses the disadvantages, rather than advantages, of the Internet.
(D) It shows that parents, not children, need to learn about cyber security.
