Some social networking sites such as Facebook has age limits. However, some people disagrees to having age limits. Now, let¡¯s see why or why not we should have age limits on social networking.
First, what is social networking? When different people who share the same hobby, passion or something common come together, it is referred to as a social network. On the other hand, social networking sites are websites that allow you to create a profile and post information about yourself and other things you want to share. These days, social networking is the most common way to make new friends and communicate with others through social networking sites. Then, what are the benefits that children get from joining networking sites?
Joining a social network online is a great way to meet new people and to learn new things. You may learn a lot of new information or anything under the sun! Also, as for children, there are a lot for them to do on social networking sites. They can add friends and see what they are up to, and know what is going around in school or the world.
However, there are also disadvantages. The first disadvantage of allowing children to social networking sites is the fact that there are no formal steps for people who wish to join the site. Almost all networking sites allow you to remain anonymous if you want. But because of this we cannot guarantee that a person may actually be who he claims to be online. For example, a man can easily create a profile of a woman, and older person can pretend to be a child and make problems. Because children doesn¡¯t have enough judgement, they can easily get cheated by adults who pretend to be others. They could get involved into crimes.
There are also a lot of racists and violent materials that exist on social networking sites. Those materials are very harmful to children. It can harm the children¡¯s concentration, and it will block them from studying.
Like this, having age limits in social networking sites has both good and harms, and this question will last long. What do you think? Should social networking sites have age limits?
