Survey: Parents Help Kids 'Lying' on Facebook

Research conducted by Microsoft Research in the United States related to the use of Facebook reveals results quite surprising. It turned out that many children under the age already have a Facebook account and severity, in the creation account, they assisted their parents.

The report means that many parents who helped her baby 'lie' in order to enter into Facebooker.

This survey came out after the debate about the importance of the change in online privacy protection laws children (Coppa). To meet the Coppa, Facebook must make sure their members are aged 13 years and over.

Although Facebook is finally issued a requirement for new members, but this was not quite successful in the field. Of the 1007 parents surveyed, 36% of them know that their children join Facebook before age 13 years.

Not only that, the survey also reveals the fact that more than half of older people, ie 76% of them had something to do with the alias assist them in creating a Facebook account, such as quoted from the WashingtonPost, Wednesday (10/2/2011).

On the other hand, the Facebook continue its efforts to quell the existence of accounts owned by children under age. "Facebook removes as many as 20,000 members under the age of each day," said Mozelle Thompson of the Facebook.

Internet dangers that lurk as well as the many children who are victims of cyber crime making up to do the removal steps and expect the parents to work together to implement this.
