Q4. Communications dissertation topic, 600-1000 words, The appropriateness of Facebook as a global
communication tool for youth aged seven to seventeen.
In September 2012 it was announced that the social networking website, Facebook (founded in 2004) had
reached one billion users. If Facebook were seen as a country, then this population mass would make it the
world's third largest country, behind China (1.5 billion) and India (1.2 billion). Of those billion accountholders, 7.5 million are aged below thirteen, and 5 million below the age of ten; yet it is contrary to
Facebook's terms of service that children under the age of thirteen may hold accounts. Your dissertation
should examine whether such terms of service are appropriate, or whether in fact the use of Facebook is
acceptable for children above the age of seven (having attained a basic level of literacy) in achieving greater
levels of global understanding. The thesis should particularly focuse on whether public protection safeguards
should be employed for all users, regardless of age.
