Example:

The rule doesn't apply to children. The same goes for senior citizens.

Can we also use 'with' instead of 'for' above?
I am honestly not sure about how to use 'same goes with'. That's why I'm asking about how to use it and would like an example if you could please give one.

Ah.

'Goes for' = applies to. Children are not allowed and that goes for senior citizens, too.

'Goes with' = matches; is compatible with. Your hat goes with your suit.

I'm so glad I found this forum. I was in the middle of writing a Facebook status and wasn't sure if it sounded right. My status goes like: 'I know people that have never changed their Facebook profile pictures since 2010. Same goes for WhatsApp and Instagram."
