10 Crazy Things That Can Get You Banned From Facebook

8. Being Too Old Or Too Young

People are so desperate to get a Facebook account that they're lying about their age! Facebook states that you have to be 13 years or older in order to have an account which means that some pre teens are changing their date of birth in order to get one. On the other side of the scale, there is also 104 year old Marguerite Joseph who had to similarly lie about her age because she was too old. Joseph was born in 1908 but that option isn't available when signing up for an account, so has her d.o.b listed at 1913 instead. Fair play to a 104 year old woman mastering technology and the internet, let alone Facebook. But if Facebook catches you out if you're lying about your age, then be prepared to suffer the consequences. Yes, we're all looking at you twelve year olds.
