Poem - Baby blue

Baby blue, as light as the sky, even a shade of a cry. Baby blue looking new, nicely set unto you. The colour of the Hydrangeas that are so nice and blue, as it reminds me of the big bright clues. As we all look into your eyes, we see the reflection of the bright baby blue sky. Watch the blue jays as they spread their wings, flapping them softly as they sing. Hear the baby blue coloured drops dripping from the sky, feel them slowly dropping onto your mind.

Should Facebook be more vigilant in checking that it’s users are over the age of 13?

Should Facebook be more vigilant in checking that it’s users are over the age of 13? 

1. Chance - I don’t really think there is anything wrong with having Facebook if your under aged. My reason to this is that Facebook actually checks your personal account and they give private reasons of friend requests. Being under aged on a social media account can also be supervised from your parents as well, they can check up on what you are doing. You can get requests from family and people you know but you may need to check with them since there are some people that catfish these days.

2. Pauline - No, Facebook should not be constantly checking if people’s account is over the age of 13. I say this because how will Facebook know for sure if all the accounts are over the age of 13. Some parent’s Facebook accounts appear to look like it is a child but actually it is not. If Facebook constantly checked its users, than there would be a high possibility of Facebook going too far with people’s privacy.

3. Amira - If Facebook is checking someone's account and then Facebook gets hacked the hacker can see everything about the person on his or her account. If the person gets a friend request from a stranger that’s a hacker, if they agree the hacker can see everything even if its a private account. What if an adult has made an account and have their profile picture is of their child or them when they were young and Facebook checks there account, it bans them from Facebook so he or she can’t connect to it.

4. Troy- Under aged kids should be allowed to go on Facebook but they should be supervised by their Parent or Caregiver and they should only friend their family.
