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.[
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
