Social media apps should be 17+, the reason for this is because social media might show explict content which is very common in this generation, which shows the corruption due to older people deciding to show their bodies which leads kids our age to be attracted, another reason why social media should be 17+ is because of addiction. think about as it was cigarettes, smoke one and the nicotine kicks in and boom, you're addicted to it. Social media allows kids to be addicted to their phones. Which can lead to bad habits due to what people are sending to each other which is another serious reason.
Social media should be for those 17+ because the content is more serious and if someone has social media and is younger they can be exposed to that. A 17 year old is wiser and will have learned more about those things. Additonally the world is full of predators. Many people go looking for young kids to prey on and social media is a great place for that. At 17 someone understands more about that and will be able to realize if they are being targeted. Another reason to have social media apps be 17+ is because of the level maturity a 17 year old has rather than a 12 year old. A 17 year old is not as influenced as a 12 year old and they are almost to adulthood. Knowing their mind they will be less likely to conform to some of the bad habits people on social media promote.
