Reg Bailey, of the Mothers Union, said that parents were right to be concerned by what he called “stealth advertising” on social networks such as Facebook. “Parents are much more concerned about the whole virtual world than they are about broadcasting. I think they don’t expect that their children’s details are going to be picked up and the way advertisers are monetising that data to try to sell at children is really quite concerning,” he said.
