In order to sign up for a Facebook account you must be at least 13 years of age, according to the Facebook terms of service. In fact, Facebook bans 20,000 underage users a day according to Australian site The Telegraph. Apparently that isn’t stopping Facebook fever from infecting Europe’s younger generation. A recent study shows that one out of every five European children between the ages of nine and twelve have a Facebook account. The study polled about 25,000 children in those age ranges all across Europe and also found that from that same age range, a striking 38% use a social networking website. The results varied for each country with the Netherlands having the highest rate of underage social networking users (70%) and France having the lowest (25%). Unsurprisingly, the study concluded that simply having an age restriction on social networking sites like Facebook is not enough to hinder the young generation of internet users. Most kids who are underage lie about their age anyway to get access to these sites so the study suggested the removal of age restrictions and the implementation of tools underage children can actually use without exposing them to certain dangers the internet may expose them to. My brief study polled one person (myself) and it concluded that parents should start regulating their kids’ use of the internet.
