| Most Australian youngsters believe their parents are oblivious to their web activities, while some admit to making fake social media profiles and fudging browser histories to deceive tech-savvy ones, a new report shows.
Seventy per cent of children aged between 8 and 17 said their parents did not know about all their internet activities, a survey involving 1000 tweens and teens by cyber security firm McAfee shows.
The same number said they had attempted to hide their online deeds, with nearly half clearing their browser history or using the private mode, a third hiding or deleting files, and a tenth creating extra social media accounts to fool their parents.
