Why Facebook is After Your Kids

Did you know that over 7.5 million kids 12 and under are starting to use Facebook? In The New York Times article Why Facebook is After Your Kids, they talk about how younger kids are logging onto Facebook and can use it without parents permission. Some people believe that kids this young should not be able to access Facebook until and older age. I agree with this article that kids 12 and younger are still too young to be using Facebook. I feel that Facebook should be used for socializing with friends and family but when they are mature enough to use it. Kids under the age of 13 are still young, and they can be quite immature. They try and grow up too fast and could possibly do something stupid online, like add strangers or post inappropriate content. you never know who's out there and i feel kids under the age of 12 should wait to use Facebook.
