The first lady says her girls, Sasha, 9, and Malia, 12, have certain restrictions that other children don't have because of Secret Service security issues.

But she also said during an interview on NBC on Wednesday that she's "not a big fan of young kids having Facebook."

Even if the girls weren't living in the White House, Mrs Obama says Facebook is "not something they need." Maybe when they get older, she added.
