Online Privacy and Personal Data Misuse

Impact of PDM on Adolescent Identity
- Children's unpleasant experiences with online personal data misuse, such as hacked accounts and slanderous pages, can challenge their need for creating and maintaining their online identity in the context of peer relationships.
- PDM can affect adolescents' self-presentation and online impression management, which are key components of building identity.
- Privacy issues and PDM can influence the construction of personal, social, and collective selves, highlighting the need to revisit research agenda on identity development theories in the context of networked privacy.
