Mothers who are aware of the importance of social media often want to make their child popular. How can they not have an Instagram account for them?
But there's a catch: The social network prohibits anyone under 13 from using the site.
"So what? What does a giant company care about my kid?" you ask. Agreed, Instagram may never find out about the existence of such an account. However, the algorithm does not doze off, and knowledgable haters can always notify the administration about your child's profile. Then you can say goodbye to your dreams of popularity - the social network will simply block the page.
However, there is a way to keep it. Write in the header of your profile that your child's account is managed by a parent. Preferably in English and without abbreviations. This will help if your page will be checked by an algorithm. And it will be easier for a Facebook employee if suddenly the check is done manually.
Why all this tambourine dancing at all? Instagram explains it by ensuring the safety of children and teenagers. Knowing the age of users helps algorithms select content and ads for them.
An interesting fact: when a child under the age of 16 signs up for Instagram, a closed account is created for him by default.
