Facebook will be banned for under-16s

Facebook adapts to the European regulation for privacy in effect from next May 25 and prohibits registration for under 16.

In an attempt to re-emerge from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, Mark Zuckerberg announces that he will soon raise the minimum age (now 13 years) to create an account and use all the social features.

"People between the ages of 13 and 15 in some EU countries will need the permission of a parent or guardian to take specific actions on Facebook," explains the social media.

From Twitter to Instagram, from Snapchat to You Tube, all applications will soon have to comply with the new legislation of the Gdpr, prompting many to wonder if this provision will actually change something in the approach of the younger to social media.

The most obvious answer is that, since there is no objective way to check if the person in front of the PC has a certain age or if he has received the tutors' ok, all the kids will continue to behave as they have always done or will simply become better at bypass bureaucratic-technological obstacles.
