Facebook 'May soon allow' under-13's to join the site.

Facebook may soon allow children younger than 13 to access the site if supervised by their parents, according to a US newspaper.

The giant company is developing technology to link children's and parents' accounts together, says the Wall Street Journal.

It also claims parents could be allowed to control which friends can be added by their children.
At the moment, under-13s are banned from joining Facebook.

The main reasons are cyberbullying, content that isn't appropriate for children, and risks of contacting strangers on the internet.
