Facebook Bans 20,000 Kids a Day

autospa writes "Although Facebook requires all users to be 13 or older, the social network bans 20,000 underage users a day, a spokeswoman said. 'There are people who lie. There are people who are under 13 [accessing Facebook],' Mozelle Thompson, Facebook's chief privacy adviser, told the The Telegraph."

    20k undercover police officer's fake accounts banded perday from facebook.

    If this were true, Facebook could sue the government for the financial harm caused (excess labor costs).

    >>>If people with a vendetta against you mod you down it will be picked up by the metamoderation system.

    Hasn't worked so far.
    Yesterday I responded to the Firefox 4 Release that the "download map" looked just fine in Seamonkey, Opera, FF4, and the older FF3.6. It was an Informative post (I thought), but eventually got modded down to (-1) Troll. These people have multiple accounts, and they use them to mod down every single one of my posts.

    The mod system is being abused. I guess the only real solution is to abandon C64_love as hopelessly destroyed, and go off to create some random "userid168190" account so I can't be mod-stalked anymore.
