Facebook for kids: Like it or leave it?

First, it was just for college students. Then, the parents joined in. Now, high schoolers are on what's probably the most successful social media platform of all time. Ah, Facebook. What would we do without you?

 

 

For those under the age of 13, however, the answer to that is, well, pretty much anything and everything. Until now, the head honchos at FB HQ had refused to even discuss removing the age restrictions on the popular website. According to Mashable.com, however, that stance might be a thing of the past.


Apparently, Facebook is considering opening the site to tweens with profiles that will be linked to their parents’ accounts. Parents would have to approve friends and applications.

 

What do you think of this new development? Tweens, would you use a FB account that was tied to your parents?

Well it is good and bad if it happens then you're invading your child's privacy but if doesn't then fb will keep getting worse.Fb should come up with a better way of keeping the site good in a different way.

no way on earth!! kids without cell phones need to communicate with other kids! how? via facebook! if my fb was linked to my mom's account, i'd save up and buy a cell phone instead even if it took years! my parents are always super busy and usually low on cash, so i dont go out with friends alot and they didn't get me a cell phone. i need facebook to talk to people!

..even though kids lie about their age, children should not be able to be on fb.. there are so many bullies out there. and some kids are not emotionally ready for such socializing. 13 i believe is an approiate age.
