Facebook gives teenagers access to post to the public

By -

Previously, teenagers from the age of 13 -17 were unable to post status upadtes, videos and images that can be seen by the public, restricted to their friends only. Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers.
Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly.
Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach.
Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook.
This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored contents on the social network giant, Facebook.
What do you think about this change? Who will it benefit the most? As a parent will you allow your children signup on facebook? Will this encourage online bullying?
