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.
