Facebook to change age rules?

We all know that the legal age to use Facebook is 13+. However, there might be a slight change to that age rating as it gets further into the year. This is what might happen…
Young people UNDER the age of 13 may soon be allowed to join social networking site, Facebook. Until now, only people over the age of 13 have been allowed to sign up to the website.

However, Simon Milner, Facebook’s head of policy in Britain, has said that the age limit should be reviewed. This is because there are many under 13s who have already signed up by saying they’re older than they are, often with their parents’ permission. Mr Milner says: “A lot of parents are happy their kids are on it.” Other people think that it is important that Facebook has a minimum age, to protect young people from cyber bullying and other online dangers.

But what do you think? Do you think that Facebook should have an age limitation? Or shouldn’t it have one? Feel free to post your comments.
