Facebook is one of the biggest and world’s most popular social networking sites. It is officially said that Facebook has more than 250 million active users.
So, if you’re keen to go for Facebook then you must know your age before signing up.
In order to be eligible to sign up for Facebook, users must be thirteen (13) years of age or older.
If you signup with an age below 13 years, then Facebook will reject you and show the following message:
That’s not a big problem as you can extend your age to 13, but it is not advisable to do that. Grow bigger and then apply.
This is a good thing but it wont keep the bad guys away.
Don’t tell me that you can’t hide the age on internet. In almost all website the minimum age requirement is 13(excluding adult).
This has been a while coming…THough it wont stop kids from creating fake profiles by increasing their age..It is a good omen
I know some kids under 12 that are more active on facebook than most adults
I was horrified to discover my grandaughter is now on face book. She is only 8 years old. I am very concerned about what she is accessing. Something needs to be done about this. Surely if this is illegal something could be done about this.
why do less den 13 cant sign up for facebook
Well I think anyone who is below 13 can also join the site providing at his/her registration as earlier years than the actual.
If the parents have parental controls set up on all computers/phones, ECT, then I don’t think they would be able to even pull up Facebook and look at it. They definitely wouldn’t be able to set accounts up if the parents have them restricted.
The owner’s of facebook need to make away to verify ages of people that is signing up for their networking. Because the way they have it now is that any age can sign up just have to lie about their age and they can make a facebook account. So they need to have some kind of age verification process for anyone signing up for facbook.
