Assvice: Facebook?
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010It had to happen at some point.
CutieDaughter asked me if she could have a Facebook account. Actually, she asked me if I knew why she was getting this message saying that she couldn’t create an account. I quickly realized that it was due to an age restriction.
Facebook TOS states that you have to be 13 or older to use Facebook.

What happens if my child creates an account and they are under 13 years old?
Facebook requires its users to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account. Providing false information to create an account is a violation of our Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
Applicable laws may give parents the right to access personal information their child has provided before Facebook follows its policy of promptly deleting such accounts. If you are aware of your underage child having an account on Facebook, you can show them how to delete their account by having them log into their profile and following this link.
If you would like to report an underage user (under 13 years of age), please do so here. We will promptly delete the account of any underage user that is reported to us through this form.
Alternatively, you can submit a request to Facebook here. Please be aware that you will be required to submit a notarized statement declaring your rights as a parent or guardian immediately upon using this form.
So naturally I’m torn between letting her have an account I would monitor, telling her that the TOS says she can’t and run the risk she opens one without my knowledge, letting her do it but then reporting her and all her underage friends…
So, what would the Internet do (WWTID)? Time for some assvice people… Go!
