 ABOUT 20,000 children are kicked off Facebook every day for lying about their age, the social network site admitted yesterday. 
  
 Despite efforts to enforce the strict 13 years or older age limit some children still slip through the checks. 
  
 The networking site's chief privacy adviser Mozelle Thompson told 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". 
  
 Seven million Australians access Facebook every day, nine million access it each week and nearly 11 million visit the site each month. 
  
 Labor MP Graham Perrett suggested to Mr Thompson that teenagers be forced to get parental permission before they joined Facebook.

 Mr Thompson said Facebook would soon hire an Australian, who would be based in Australia, to deal with "policy issues". In Sydney there are already up to a dozen Facebook employees involved in selling advertising, but Facebook has been under pressure to hire someone to deal with local complaints and issues. 
  
 Chair of the cyber-safety committee Dana Wortley said: "We know there are potential risks that young people face including cyber-bullying, identity theft and privacy issues, illegal content and contact from online predators." ||||| According to a study by the Pew Internet & 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. 
  
 But that doesn't mean Facebook isn't trying to stop kids from becoming addicted to the network at such a young age (though indoctrination does have its benefits!). According to a report by the Daily Telegraph today, Facebook is kicking out roughly 20,000 underage users per day. 
  
 In a meeting with Australia's cyber-safety committee, Facebook's chief privacy adviser Mozelle Thompson agreed that underage users were taking advantage of the site. After all, any user no matter his or her age can register for the site by simply lying when signing up--Facebook has no mechanisms to detect whether a teen is telling the truth or not. "It's not perfect," said Thompson. 
  
 However, Facebook's privacy czar did argue that Facebook is trying to stop these young'ins from continuing to use the site. "There are people who lie. There are people who are under 13 [accessing Facebook]," Thompson said. "Facebook removes 20,000 people a day, people who are underage." 
  
 Of course, that's a fraction of the nearly 600 million users on Facebook, but underage users have become a growing concern for the network, especially as it faces increased pressure from regulators--whether in Australia or the U.S. Last April, Senators Franken, Bennet, and Schumer penned a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over privacy issues related to collecting the personal data of users. This month, Sen. Franken stepped up pressure on the world's largest network, with support from even more Congressional colleagues. 
  
 This time the focus was specifically on "users between 13 to 17 years of age." 
  
 "Facebook's new privacy policy would endanger the privacy and safety of children as young as 13. Under Facebook's policy, 13 million users under the age of 18 may be allowed to share their personal information just like adult users," Franken argued. "These younger users are the most vulnerable to predators on Facebook and the rest of the Internet and it should be impossible for them to inadvertently share their phone numbers and home addresses with anyone." 
  
 And that's not even taking into consideration the users who are younger than 13.

 allow third-party developers to request access to the home addresses 
  
 and phone numbers of users. Despite Facebook's insistence that it 
  
 will protect its users, I believe this policy will place users at 
  
 great risk. That's why I wrote a letter with Sens. Charles E. Schumer 
  
 (D-N.Y.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Richard Blumenthal 
  
 (D-Conn.) to CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging him to stop plans for this new 
  
 third party access to personal data. Armed with nothing more than a 
  
 Facebook user's phone number and home address, anyone with an Internet 
  
 connection and a few dollars can obtain personal information they 
  
 should never have access to, including a user's date of birth, e-mail 
  
 address, or estimated income. In fact, by using this information, an 
  
 identity thief could get almost all of the data he would need to apply 
  
 for a loan or a credit card in the name of an unsuspecting Facebook 
  
 user. 
  
 And even more alarming, Facebook's new privacy policy would endanger 
  
 the privacy and safety of children as young as 13. Under Facebook's 
  
 policy, 13 million users under the age of 18 may be allowed to share 
  
 their personal information just like adult users. These younger users 
  
 are the most vulnerable to predators on Facebook and the rest of the 
  
 Internet and it should be impossible for them to inadvertently share 
  
 their phone numbers and home addresses with anyone. 
  
 The boom of new technologies over the last several years has made it 
  
 easier to keep in touch with family and friends, but it has also put 
  
 an unprecedented amount of personal information into the hands of 
  
 large companies and unknown third parties. It's important that 
  
 Facebook protect its users by reversing their plans to permit 
  
 developers to request and access this private information. It's even 
  
 more important that Facebook protect the children who use its website 
  
 by never allowing them to accidentally share their phone numbers and 
  
 home addresses with people who may want to hurt them. |||||
A: 
Facebook kicks 20,000 users under the age of 13 off the site daily, its privacy chief told Australian officials. “There are people who lie,” he said, adding that the site’s methods of catching them aren’t “perfect,” reports Australia’s Daily Telegraph. Almost half of US 12-year-olds use social networks, a Pew study found, while 64% of 13-year-olds and 82% of teens 14 to 17 are on the sites, Fast Company notes. It’s not just Australia that’s worried about younger users: US lawmakers have also weighed in. Sen. Al Franken wrote in the Huffington Post this month about his concerns, noting that “under Facebook's policy, 13 million users under the age of 18 may be allowed to share their personal information just like adult users. These younger users are the most vulnerable to predators,” so “it should be impossible for them to inadvertently share their phone numbers and home addresses with anyone.”
