Facebook Inc. is taking heat from U.S. lawmakers after reports that the company is exploring ways to let children under 13 onto its social network.
The co-chairmen of the Bi-Partisan Congressional Privacy Caucus, Texas Republican Joe Barton and Massachusetts Democrat Edward Markey, sent a letter to Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg yesterday asking him to provide details on the company’s plans for allowing access to children under age 13, who fall under stricter regulations around online privacy.
