Leaked Facebook documents show it sees 'tweens' aged 10-12 as 'untapped' wealth and has spent years trying to get around federal laws banning harvesting of data from under 13s
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Facebook has for the last five years explored how to recruit younger people

  • The company was concerned by the rise of rivals like TikTok and Snapchat

  • Young people aged 10-12 were described as a valuable untapped resource

  • Researchers asked whether Facebook products could be helpful on playdates

  • They also noted how older users spread the 'myth' to younger ones that oversharing was dangerous, and urged caution in their posts

  • Facebook-owned Instagram had intended a version for children, but on Monday announced its launch had been postponed

  • That came amid previous allegations that bosses knew their subsidiary app Instagram made a third of young girls feel bad about their body image

  • On Thursday Facebook will testify before Congress about security for children

  • The company said on Tuesday it was not alone in looking for ways to attract younger users and there was nothing 'nefarious or secret' going on
