Facebook's new privacy settings doesn't change much for teenagers. All it does is allow advertisers to target their audience better. The privacy update allows teenagers to make their profiles public. They are trying to keep up with other social media's privacy so they aren't the only ones that don't allow them to be public. This has caused many people to become wary although some support the change.
The article discusses an increase of cyber bullying and sexual exploitation due to the change. I don't think that either will increase the amount of either. Cyber bullying will generally happen between people who are "friends" on social media sites so this privacy change wont affect that. People who are susceptible to sexual exploitation would probably add anyone who offers a friend request anyways so this privacy change will not increase the amount of sexual exploitation.
