Facebook’s bouncers are working hard to ensure that no one under the age of 13 is allowed on the site. According to the social network’s chief privacy adviser, Mozelle Thompson, Facebook attempts to cut off underaged kids before they sign up, but those preemptive safeguards aren’t always successful.
Thompson told Australian parliament, “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.” Even with all of the safeguards in place, however, Thompson added, the vetting process is “not perfect.”
