Rejected petition Limiting Facebook access to adults only

More details

We the undersigned ask the Government to debate the issue of Facebook access for minors.

We believe Facebook to be an unsuitable web service for those under the age of 18 for several reasons:

1) Privacy
2) Personal Safety
3) Inappropriate Content

As such, we call upon the Government to impose a 'no minors' rule on Facebook access from the United Kingdom.

We further call for penalties to be levied against parents who allow their children to sign up for Facebook in contravention of this age limit.
