a 2011 study in the online journal "first monday" examines how parents consistently enable children as young as 10 years old to sign up for accounts, directly violating facebook's policy banning young visitors. this policy is in compliance with a united states law, the 1998 children's online privacy protection act, which requires minors aged 13 or younger to gain explicit parental consent to access commercial websites. in jurisdictions where a similar law sets a lower minimum age, facebook enforces the lower age. of the 1,007 households surveyed for the study, 76% of parents reported that their child joined facebook at an age younger than 13, the minimum age in the site's terms of service. the study also reported that facebook removes roughly 20,000 users each day for violating its minimum age policy. the study's authors also note, "indeed, facebook takes various measures both to restrict access to children and delete their accounts if they join." the findings of the study raise questions primarily about the shortcomings of united states federal law, but also implicitly continue to raise questions about whether or not facebook does enough to publicize its terms of service with respect to minors. only 53% of parents said they were aware that facebook has a minimum signup age; 35% of these parents believe that the minimum age is merely a recommendation or thought the signup age was 16 or 18, not 13.

bullet::::- age. if the man is under 16 years of age, or the woman is under 14 years of age, then their marriage is invalid. this is an ecclesiastical impediment, and so does not apply to a marriage between two non-catholics. however, in a marriage between a catholic and a non-catholic, the age limitation applies to the non-catholic party as well. each national episcopal conference has the authority to set a higher minimum age as a prohibitive impediment. in general, individual bishops do not have this authority (cf. cic c. 1075 §2). in canada, and also in new zealand, this minimum age has been set to 18 years old for both parties. in england and wales, this minimum age has been set to be in accordance with civil law (i.e., 16 years old for both parties). in gambia, liberia, and sierre leone, this minimum age has been set to 18 years old for the man and 16 years old for the woman. in the philippines, this minimum has been set to 21 years old for the bridegroom, and 18 years old for the bride. in south africa, and also in switzerland, this minimum age has been set to be in accordance with civil law. in nigeria, the episcopal conference has delegated the authority to set a higher prohibitive minimum age to the individual bishops. the united states conference of catholic bishops has not enacted a higher prohibitive minimum age for marriage.
