Is Facebook's Age Limit Suitable?

What do you think the age limit should be for Facebook?

Posted by Matt Patton, February 17, 2012 at 04:51 pm

As Facebook continues to become more popular, the world is beginning to have some questions.

One of the most popular is how old somebody should be to have a legal account.

Right now, users have to be at least 13, although it is higher in some places. What do you think the age limit should be?

That is more than two individual units per acre or if you include the 60 condos - that is MORE than 4 units per acre! The area around the property for new building is zoned 3 acres per unit. The average of currently built housing abutting the property is about one acre per unit. That is not in keeping with the neighborhood character.

Mr Steiner may be the last hope for this decrepit place. The neighbors need to move along, or buy…Read More the place themselves. Change might help the stonewalling attitude that has become evident in nearly the entire town, revolving around exclusive entitled old farts with nothing better to do than remember their glory days of Seaside. Its gone, & it's not going to revert back to a pasture either. (too many complaints about that cow smell and so forth). My advice is to listen carefully and try to work something out, get over your own selfish grandious dreams of Pelham Manor style estates and do SOMETHING before it simply falls apart like Norwich Hospital, the countless thread/manufacturing mills, and every other historic building that has been left to rot.

Take a ride around the same neighborhoods on Wednesday and half the signs will still be there.
