What happens to people who have fb or twitter but are underage?

[David H]

Absolutely nothing unless found out - then that account is deleted - and the likelihood of that happening is near enough....zero.!!

The is the 'huge problem' with the Internet - opening accounts is based on the 'extremely naive attitude' of these websites....the trusting of the individual opening the account.

Once the site request of....are you 18yrs or over etc (or a false date of birth given) is deliberately overruled by the person clicking 'yes' on the question (when the person is underage) the 'worldwide' internet pandora's box is opened for use by that under age person.

The 'ridiculous claim' made by these various web sites etc....that safety/filter features are in place etc....presupposes the honesty of billions of individual people in the first place....and 'that' is the complete 'childish pipe-dream' these website controllers on the Internet trust.

The Internet at any level is a very dangerous place to be - both for underage experimenters and naive people falling for all the 1.000's of scams that are out there in cyber land.!!
