> Even if you lied that you are older then 13 years , did the Cam girls company paid FB to show that ad for ages between 13-18? Why? To prepare their minds for the future ? From the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/jul/26/children-lie-age-facebook-asa https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/jul/26/children-lie-a...): > The survey found that 83% of the 11 to 15 year olds whose internet usage was monitored registered on a social media site with a false age. > Just over 40% of the children signed in stating they were over 18 years of age, with one even claiming to be 88. -- > company that buys ads on FB you should know that FB will probably show ads to those children and you will pay for it because those super genius developers are too busy with more important projects like some new framework That seems like a pretty cartoonish view of FB employees. They are trying to solve the problem. People who argue like you have rarely ever actually had experience running FB ads (more cutthroat than you'd think; FB isn't omniscient despite media reporting). The #1 priority at every large company is protecting their brand (see ex App Store review chief: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJeEuxn9mug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJeEuxn9mug). Many people (like you) constantly condemn large corporations ("why don't they just...") due to a lack of empathy and inability to put yourself in these people's shoes. If all the people saying "why doesn't Apple put a headphone jack back in, it doesn't take that much space!" actually had to undergo the pressure of working for Apple's hardware design team, they'd understand the tradeoffs far better and spread less uninformed criticism. https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/world/facebook-developing-ai-new-ways-to-detect-users-under-age-13-290978 https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/world/facebook-developing-... > “We look at things like people wishing you a happy birthday and the age written in those messages. We also look at the age you shared with us on Facebook and apply it to our other apps where you have linked your accounts and vice versa. So if you share your birthday with us on Facebook, we’ll use the same for your linked account on Instagram,” Diwanji explained. > The social network said that it is focused on using existing data to inform its artificial intelligence technology. > “Where we do feel we need more information, we’re developing a menu of options for someone to prove their age. This is a work in progress and we’ll have more to share in time,” said Facebook. — IANS
