Why can't I see the message button on other people's Facebook?

When you notice that a stranger's profile page does not have a message button, most Facebook users will assume that this problem is due to an application error or simply a network lag. However, in reality, this is not an error but a new feature that has appeared on Facebook recently.

Specifically, to ensure the safety of young users, Facebook has launched a feature to hide the message button when users are under 14 years old. Knowing this, many Facebook users have proactively changed their birth year and made their theoretical age under 15 years old. From then on, the message button on their personal page will be hidden according to Facebook's policy.
