Matt Damon fears for children in social media age

Matt Damon admitted his fears for his young daughters growing up in an era of social media as he promoted his new film Jason Bourne.

He reprises his role as the eponymous former CIA assassin, now in a “post-Snowden world” where the line between protecting personal privacy and state security is regularly crossed, particularly in the case of social media.

The father-of-four confessed he was a “dinosaur” who avoided sites like Twitter and Instagram but said he was glad they were not around to capture the indiscretions of his youth, unlike for step-daughter Alexia, 17, and daughters Isabella, 10, Gia, seven, and Stella, five.
