Facebook Considers Allowing Children to Use Site

Facebook is considering changing its current policy that bans children under age 13 from using the site, according to an exclusive Wall Street Journal article.

According to WSJ:

Mechanisms being tested include connecting children's accounts to their parents' and controls that would allow parents to decide whom their kids can "friend" and what applications they can use, people who have spoken with Facebook executives about the technology said. The under-13 features could enable Facebook and its partners to charge parents for games and other entertainment accessed by their children, the people said.
