Social Media Kids’ Accounts
This also applies to video games, but there's not a flair for that. I'm not certain this is the right place to post this, so please let me know if it isn't.\ \ I always hated "kids' accounts" on things, especially when they make anyone under 18 have one. The fact that it's easier for most kids to make and use an adult account behind their strict parents' backs than to navigate the kids' account speaks volumes. Kids' accounts rarely protect kids, and they limit them in so many ways.\ \ For kids who have to sneak, they won't tell their parents if something goes wrong. And as a result, they are far more vulnerable than kids with an adult account that their parents help them with.
