The majority of teens can care less about their privacy on social networks. Adult segment is by nature and habit much more in tune with their identity both online and offline. If your interested I've written a post at fuegonation.com/blog addressing the interesting dilemma of guarding adult privacy on social networks. Hope this helps!

I agree with you that most of the stuff shared over social networks is fairly harmless. But your DNA? What if you had a marker for some genetic disease, and based upon a quick internet search, a health insurer would deny you insurance based upon what they consider a pre-existing condition? Granted, this is more of an issue in the bizarre free-market system that is US healthcare. But still, I can't imagine this is something that people would want to share over the internet.
