Social media allows people to communicate and share content online, but poses risks to young users. While the minimum age requirement for most sites is 13, over 7.5 million Facebook users are below this age. Young children may be exposed to predators online or experience depression from focusing on their social status. They also leave a permanent digital footprint of all content they post. However, social media does allow users to connect with others worldwide and stay informed, as 27% of Americans use social networks as a news source. But the large amounts of time spent on sites like Facebook, with 23% checking over five times daily and 700 billion minutes spent monthly, raises questions about internet addiction issues in future generations.
