I mean, according to the original article from techcrunch pointing out this issue there was a consent form minors had to get signed.

  The BBC are reporting they signed up as a 14-year-old and there is no parental consent sought

    Facebook officially prohibits users younger than 13, mainly because US law has a lot of special requirements for children under that age ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Online_Privacy_Pr... ). I’m sure the app doesn’t have any special age-based code because if someone has a Facebook account, they’ve already told Facebook they’re 13 or older.
