Does Facebook have a specific mechanism to try to prevent that happening? Ms Sweeney stated that there is a general policy to the effect that anyone under the age of 13 years is not allowed to have a Facebook account, but she also outlined how flimsy are the measures to prevent that. It is anything but 100% proof.
My question specifically relates to data on children. As anyone who has ever worked in advertising knows, the first rule of advertising is to get money out of adults through their children. Is there a specific mechanism to do that?
