Good idea or is this a corporate giant grasping for an increase for shareholders? "Social Media" making money? Is Social media even valid with Twitter, FB, blogs capitalizing and making money off of what's "trending"?? I will say with this latest news "social media" has been "outed"
Facebook to alow under 13/YO'ds to set up accounts

How do you do this? Arrest the kids? This would be a difficult thing to legislate, though I guess the Canadian gov could contact Facebook and try to have them block access of accounts of under 13 y/o with IP addresses coming from Canada.
Better solution: parents ban kids from Facebook of whatever age limits they want.

perhaps MLW member, 'Fletch', believes this should be a part of the Harper Conservatives Bill C-30 online surveillance legislation... hey now, perhaps Vic Toews is already on the case!What does this have to do with federal legislation?

You're mocking your own idea?
So much for "small government" conservatives. (Not that I ever bought into that fantasy anyway.)

And what in G-d's name ever prevented a 12 year old from opening an account with a fake birthday? At least if they allow it anyone targeting a minor knows that he or she is "talking" to a 12 year old and can be dealt with accordingly.How do you do this? Arrest the kids? This would be a difficult thing to legislate, though I guess the Canadian gov could contact Facebook and try to have them block access of accounts of under 13 y/o with IP addresses coming from Canada.

Do NOT allow your children to use Facebook.
With the amount of security issues and the rumored ties to the NSA, if you MUST use Facebook, do so with extreme caution.

It is a marketing thing weith Facebook, they reputedly have close to a billion members and must be approaching saturation. Share prices drop when you have no new markets.....
