Facebook takes baby steps towards 'children under 13' social network
Added On:6/5/2012 4:01:00 PM

A surprising news has surfaced the tech terrain that Facebook may allow children under 13 to have their profiles on the site to poke, post, and make friends, very soon. However, children shall require parental supervision for this. 

For this, Facebook is secretly testing ways to allow kids to participate in Facebook’s activities without needing to lie. 

Presently, Facebook does not allow children under 13 to have an account on Facebook as federal law requires companies to obtain parental consent if they want to collect information about those children.

Trusted sources informed our team that there are already over seven million little kiddies who are swarming the site after lying about being 13 or older. 

Market watchers added, the latest initiative by Facebook will allow the social networking giant with over 900 million active users to tap a new pool of users for generating more revenues. 

Whether or not, people will like Facebook’s latest initiative or not, it is difficult to say anything on this. So, stay hooked to get more information on this.
