Adult-Only Facebook Pondered by Australia Attorneys General

Facebook Inc., the world’s biggest social network, should have access restricted to people older than 18, some Australian politicians say in response to concerns over online bullying that led teenagers to commit suicide.

Australian top law enforcement officials, attending a two-day forum in Adelaide that began yesterday, discussed proposals from South Australia’s Attorney General John Rau that would require Facebook to verify the ages of people creating accounts or force the website to guarantee parents access to their children’s accounts.
