Is your school aloud to close your facebook account?

[Maggie Anne]

You have the right to have a facebook. As long as you're 13 years old or more, you are allowed to have a facebook.

However, if you do something against Facebook policy, facebook itself can remove your account/ban you.
Such as:
(from the statement of rights)
#6 You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
#7 You will not post content that is hateful, threatening, pornographic, or that contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.

"We can remove any content or information you post on Facebook if we believe that it violates this Statement. "

"If you violate the letter or spirit of this Statement, or otherwise create possible legal exposure for us, we can stop providing all or part of Facebook to you."



Your parents/teachers etc. have no legal control over your facebook page. They can request to have the GROUP deleted if it goes against facebook rules, but they cannot close your account themselves. And facebook will not delete your account because your teachers ask them to. Unless, again, you have violated facebook policy.
