Internet children "generate"

[Silverthorn]

Yeah... but i guess kids these days are smart :/

Try to find a 7-year-old who gives a damn about adjusting privacy-settings in a way that they can browser failbook safely. They probably don't even understand the first paragraph of its TOS:

This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities ("Statement," "Terms," or "SRR") derives from the Facebook Principles, and is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with Facebook. By using or accessing Facebook, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time in accordance with Section 14 below. Additionally, you will find resources at the end of this document that help you understand how Facebook works.

Same with other communities. Some people successfully manage to keep their real name, for instance, to themselves (most prominent example would be Silva, I guess ). How is a child supposed to know which information about its private life can be revealed without consequences ("Hey, I took a poop 5 minutes ago and I thought I'd let you all know" vs. "I'm the best soccer-player of Team XYZ in age-class C and I've shot 21 goals in the last season"). Depends on the question if you want to be found but I don't recommend letting a less-than-10-year-old decide that. In fact, quite some online communities require a minimum age of 13 to participate.

edit: just read a little further in failbook's TOS:

4. Registration and Account Security

Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:

You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
You will not create more than one personal account.
If we disable your account, you will not create another one without our permission.
You will not use your personal timeline for your own commercial gain (such as selling your status update to an advertiser).
You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.
You will not use Facebook if you are a convicted sex offender.
You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.
You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account.
You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission.
If you select a username or similar identifier for your account or Page, we reserve the right to remove or reclaim it if we believe it is appropriate (such as when a trademark owner complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's actual name).
