Later it included other colleges in the [[Boston]] area, the [[Ivy League]], and [[Stanford University]]. It eventually opened for students at other universities. After that, it opened to high school students, and, finally, to anyone aged 13 and over. Based on ConsumersReports.org in May 2011, there are 7.5 million children under 13 with accounts. This breaks the website's rules.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.consumerreports.org/electronics/2011/05/five-million-facebook-users-are-10-or-younger.html|title=Five million Facebook users are 10 or younger|date=May 10, 2011|work=ConsumerReports.org|accessdate=May 15, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110512212712/http://news.consumerreports.org/electronics/2011/05/five-million-facebook-users-are-10-or-younger.html|archive-date=May 12, 2011|dead-url=}}</ref>
