--- title: "E-Safety: Facebook" url: "https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2020-01-30-15-15-00-e-safety-facebook" school: "Brookside Primary School" --- # E-Safety: Facebook ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/Facebook.jpg) 30 January 2020 [Ms Kendal](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/CarolineKendal) Facebook is an online social media platform that has over 2 billion users across the globe. Anyone over the age of 13 is able to join the platform. Users can add photos and videos, update their status, interact with others and catch up with the latest news. Despite requiring users to be over 13, there are no age verification measures and children can easily create an account. It’s therefore important that parents familiarise themselves with the main features of the platform to ensure their young ones remain safe if and when they use it.
