And back when things like MySpace and Twitter first started up, it was a lot of teens using those sites.

Even Facebook had more younger people using it back then.

Social Media has always been popular with the youth, because most of them were targeted towards their demographic.

Given it had teens, but it wasn’t for under 13’s. You had to be 13+ to join both MySpace and FB (of course kids under 13 lied) but the main target wasn’t kids or young teens. FB in particular was aimed at university age people initially.

MySpace had partial access for 13-15 year olds, and restrictions on communications for them with 18+ members. Again the initial target market was older teens (16+), university students and young adults.
