Different families have different rules about what age you can use social media. Even though these apps say you have to be 13 to use them, this is because that’s the age when advertisers can promote products to young people–it doesn’t always mean that that is the age when someone is ready. Different people might be mature enough or ready at different ages, and families might have different rules for keeping everyone safe.
