As after finding that many below 13 kids, some with their parents' permission and help were already using Facebook. It is likely to allow the kids to join its site.

 

 

Simon Milner, Head of policy in Britain, Facebook said, "There is reputable evidence that there are kids under 13 who are lying about their age to get on to Facebook. Some seem to be doing it with their parents' permission and help.”

 

 

Milner said, “However the decision to allow children to create profiles was still at a very early stage. I will launch a debate about the minimum age in Britain when he appears next month at Wellington College, Berkshire. We have a strict under-13 rule because of legal issues in America. We apply the same rule all over the world. But a lot of parents are happy their kids are on it. We would like to hear from people what the answer might be."
