 Facebook started a new app just for kids under the age of 13 
called Messenger Kids. Unlike the original Facebook app, the 
Messenger Kid s app doesn’t allow chil dren to have a separa te  
Facebook or Messenger account. Instead, children using the 
Messenger Kid s app will simply be part of a parent’s acc ount. 
Therefore, chil dre n won’t be able  to add their own frie nds or delete 
any messages. Facebook cla ims that this allows kids to safely 
message people they  know while giving parents enough control. 
Also, the Messenger K ids app doesn’t allow any advertise ments.   
While Face book’s Mess enger  Kids app claims to provide a 
solution for pare nts, a group of experts, including doctors, teachers,  
and parents, are calling for Facebook to take  down thi s app. They 
argue that children under t he age  of 13 hav e no need for their own 
social media a ccounts. In additio n, they criticize Facebook for 
creating a pr oduct that targets younger children who are not re ady to 
deal with onli ne re lationships and privacy iss ues. Lastly, experts fear 
that exposing young children to socia l media a t a y oung age may 
negatively impact their development.
