Facebook should be limited to college students who have a .edu email address. Facebook was originally started with this limitation; high school students were not able to sign up for the service and neither were adults who were not in college. This added an extra layer of protection and security to Facebook.
Today Facebook users have to be extremely careful what they post on their profile because unintended people may be able to access the material. If you post pictures of underage drinking or parties, it isn’t just your friends who see it anymore, but also your parents, younger siblings, and future employers. Is it fair that you may not get a job because you went to a party on the weekend? At some schools, you can even face disciplinary action if there is Facebook evidence that you broke the rules. What you do in your free time is your own business as long as you’re smart and safe!
By limiting membership access, Facebook would be more private because we could control content for others who are our own age without fear that the wrong person will see it and cause negative consequences. It also protects younger students who are not yet in college. If anyone can get a Facebook account, younger users can come into contact with predators who may take advantage of them. If Facebook limited its membership rules again, creepy old people would be prohibited from making profiles and younger users would be safer.”
