At what age should people be allowed to use social media? Children have to be at least 13 to sign up for most social media platforms. But we know that many tweens work around this restriction.

Reflecting on when kids should be allowed to use social media can help us think through the risks and rewards of using social media, regardless of our age. Approximately 45 mins.
LESSON OBJECTIVES: Explain why websites that collect personal information have an age requirement of 13 in the United States.
