Facebook Inc rolled out Messenger Kids, an app that lets the world’s biggest social media company expand into a so-far untapped market of kids under 13 while also giving parents complete control over what their children see. Facebook Messenger Kids requires parents to set up an account and approve their children’s contacts. “There’s really a gap in the market for a messaging app for kids that also gives parents control,” Facebook spokeswoman Lauren Svensson said. In response, Facebook reiterated that the app is fairly limited in scope since a child cannot sign up for Facebook themselves. As with Instagram, Facebook or Snapchat, children can add filters or playful drawings to the photos they send.
