Kids are slipping under social media companies’ radars and setting up accounts. Ofcom found that in the U.K., 51% of 12-year-olds, 46% of 11-year-olds, and 28% of 10-year-olds have a social media account—despite the age limit of 13-years-old. However, social media companies seem to care more about the breach than the parents of the kids in question. A Facebook spokesperson emphasized that they enforce their age limit, while two in five parents told Ofcom they’d “allow their child to use social media ahead of them reaching the minimum age required.” (BBC)
