Facebook bans 20,000 children in a day



We are living in a society called Information.  In the era of Facebook, people are loved to connect through this. But you're "forbidden" from using Facebook, if you’re under age 13. Accessing the social networking site is a crime if you are below 13. About 20,000 children are kicked off this social networking site every day for lying about their age. Many underage children join the site by pretending to be older than they are, despite efforts to enforce the age limit policy.

A mother in Australia, whose 12-year-old daughter was being stalked and harassed on the site, after the mother discovered her under-age child, was on Facebook, despite the rules. Seven million Australians visit Facebook per day, nine million each week and almost eleven million each month. Globally, about seven million children are blocked from the site each year.
