We often see parents using technology as a baby sitter. That’s pretty concerning, but then I see children in the 8, 9, to 12 range with YouTube channels, and Instagram movie channels, and discussion forums on Facebook.

Netscape has taken the initiative to ask “What does data collection mean for a child’s future?”
