Facebook removes 20,000 people a day from site
According to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, nearly half of all 12-year-olds in the U.S. are using social network sites, despite not meeting the minimum age requirements for sites like Facebook. And such popularity only balloons once the teens grow older: roughly 64% of 13-year-olds are social networking; between the ages of 14 to 17, that figure jumps to 82%, says Pew.
The networking site’s chief privacy adviser Mozelle Thompson speaking to the Australian Federal Parliament’s cyber-safety committee: “There are people who lie. There are people who are under 13 [accessing Facebook].
“Facebook removes 20,000 people a day, people who are underage.” While the social networking site had mechanisms to detect liars, Mr Thompson said: “It’s not perfect”.
The population of Australia is twenty-two million and seven million Australians access Facebook every day, nine million access it each week and nearly 11 million visit the site each month.
