Twitter, Facebook to be 18+
November 9, 2009 - Well kiddies, it looks like you will not be given access to Twitter and Facebook without parental permission.
Microsoft have confirmed today that the next system update will limit access to social networking tools to people over the age of 18, unless parental permission is given.
“We made this decision because as it stands now, parents aren’t able to use Family Settings to customise which of these applications their children can access. In order to offer an age-appropriate environment for everyone, we decided to turn off these applications for those Gold members under the age of 18,” said Larry Hryb, Xbox executive.
“[...]This means that Xbox Live members between the ages of 13 and 17 will be able to use Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm as long as their parents approve. The team hope to roll this out several weeks after launch and I will update you on the exact date as it gets closer.”
