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?
