PETALING JAYA: A child rights activist has urged parents and authorities to keep an eye on children surfing the Internet after Facebook’s newly launched dating service arrived on Malaysian shores.
Facebook now lets users create a dating account where they are matched with others based on their interests, “likes”, Facebook Groups and events, among others.Users will also have the option of sharing their work, education and other biographical information. “Dating apps are usually for adults but Facebook is used by children as young as 12 or 13 or even younger,” she told FMT, adding that not many are aware of the dangers of online dating and its repercussions.Sharmila, who runs the Voices of the Children group, said children and teenagers are not mature enough to differentiate between genuine potential suitors and those who “just want a fling”.
