Google
Plus, the latest invention by the search engine giant, has grown by
leaps and bounds since it started one month ago. With 10 million users,
the social networking site already has Facebook users turning their
cheek for the more seemingly sophisticated alternative. However, all of
these people fall into one demographic: 18 years of age and older.
One of the most notable features of Google Plus is its prohibition of users under the age of 18. While tech-savvy teens are likely to eventually weasel their way onto the website, not everyone is happy with the limitation.
"Shutting off teens (some of the most avid internet users) from their social network will mean they’ll never achieve numbers like Facebook, or Twitter," Cec Plascott, an upset teen, told The Next Web. "Google is a clever company, and I’m sure they'll eventually see sense. What I want to know is what drove them to put such limitation on the network in the first place?"
Although teens don't seem to be happy about the ban, many adults are finding comfort in the fact that constantly-changing online lingo and provocative photos have yet to make their way to Google Plus.
