Facebook is an American for-profit
corporation and online social media and
social networking service based in Menlo
Park, California. The Facebook website was
launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark
Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard
College students and roommates, Eduardo
Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin
Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes.[6][7][8]
The founders had initially limited the
website’s membership to Harvard students;
however, later they expanded it to higher
education institutions in the Boston area,
the Ivy League schools, and Stanford
University. Facebook gradually added
support for students at various other
universities, and eventually to high
school students as well. Since 2006,
anyone age 13 and older has been allowed
to become a registered user of Facebook,
though variations exist in the minimum age
requirement, depending on applicable local
laws.[9] The Facebook name comes from the
face book directories often given to
United States university students
