As we know Facebook has been launched onto the Xbox 360. Right now we can all type in on our Internet Browsers www.facebook.com and make an account for free at any age. As a very large amount of Xbox Live users are under 18 we are not getting this content for our Xbox 360 consoles. It states on Facebook that ANYONE can join Facebook at ANY age:
"Facebook requires all users to provide their real date of birth to encourage authenticity and provide only age-appropriate access to content. You will be able to hide this information from your profile if you wish, and its use is governed by the Facebook Privacy Policy."
This meaning that I, under 18, have every right to use Facebook with age-appropriate content. I ask on behalf of every mature under 18 to fix the ban of child accounts on Facebook and add in age-appropriate content instead.

    • Its quite a shame about the age restriction. I only recently made a facebook and i really like it so far. I was really looking foward to using it on my 360, It would be extremely conveniant for me. Whats really stupid though is that i am a very mature 16 year old and this age restriction just isnt fair for anyone like myself.

    • It's just ridiculous. There are parental controls; shouldn't children be able to access Facabook, Twitter and Last.fm with parental permission?
