Mark Zuckerberg didn't want me to use Facebook
Many studies have shown that children should not use electronic devices too much. The 2014 study of the University of California, LA, said that 5-day children do not use technology to better recognize human emotions than those who watch television, computers, and phones. Too much time on the screen in the long run will reduce your child's ability to 'read' non-verbal activities (such as gestures, body language) and the ability to integrate with the surrounding world.
Technology giants like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg know that. According to the 2014 article published in the New York Times, Jobs does not let his children use the iPad and is very limited in the technology that children can use in the home.

After giving birth to her second daughter, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg also sent a letter to her, encouraging her to spend time playing outside. 'I will be busier when I am old so I hope you take the time to smell the fragrance and pick up the leaves in your basket,' he wrote.
It seems that business and raising children do not necessarily have to go along the road
The advice was right, but after sending a message to his son, Mark returned to his job to attract more children into his Facebook world.
On Monday, Facebook introduced Messenger Kids, a private chat app for children under 13 and used under adult supervision. Currently, only people 13 years of age or older can create a Facebook account. Messenger Kids connects to their parents account, so they can create a Help Profile. The two sides also have separate friends lists.

The application is limited to sharing text, video, images. The company also claims its application complies with the Online Privacy and Child Protection Act.
This is the 'safe place' for children of course except that it is also a place for Facebook to advertise, 'sentence' users right from their youth.
Messenger for Kids does not help much when parents still have to listen to the nagging words from their children asking to buy phones, iPads that 'everyone can have them without me'. If they followed Mark's advice about teaching children, they would have to ignore these demands again.
While David Marcus, Facebook's vice president of chat products, says Facebook's job is to "solve human problems", it's funny that they seem to be creating more problems for parents. .
