5 reasons why Facebook is not suitable for children under 13: 1. Children would become part of one of the Internet’s most expansive personal data-collection and profiling platforms. 2. Children would be exposed to a new generation of highly persuasive and manipulative digital marketing practices. 3. Facebook’s marketing practices would take advantage of children’s cognitive, social, and emotional vulnerabilities. 4. Children would be subjected to an onslaught of unhealthy food marketing — precisely at a time when childhood obesity has become a major crisis. 5. There are no safeguards in place that can adequately protect children from Facebook’s aggressive and harmful marketing and data-collection practices.
