> people born after 2000 are so used to getting filmed and photographed everywhere that they don't have such reservations

It's more complicated than not having reservations -- younger people share more online but are also more likely to take steps to protect their privacy:

You can find what you want in the data, but my personal read is everyone does what they have to do. Older people have the option of just opting out without losing access to their community (how much social capital are you losing by not checking out that link?), while younger people have to engage in order to be part of their community, so they get more exposure to what can go wrong and take more risks but also more steps to protect themselves.

If you're engaging with people of a different generation I'd strongly encourage taking this approach -- if I assume you're making smart choices about dealing with the social system you're in, rather than doing something dumb, what does that tell me about the situation you're facing and what kind of support you might need?

That article is from November 2016. The conversations about privacy and personal information have evolved massively since then. Cambridge Analytica, Facebook's $5bn FTC fine, and TikTok's takeover of youth social media were all yet to happen.

This quoted bit below says it all:

"But when I poke through 10 years of Facebook, I see something else altogether. We’re not an oversharing generation. We’re a generation that’s over sharing — done, finished, kaput, through. … All the chatty candor and hyperactive disclosure of our early years on Facebook now look like just another kind of youthful indulgence."

All this means is that this person has 'aged out' of their FB phase. What about the hundreds of millions of younger people still on IG, Snap and TikTok?
