Who can use Facebook: Convicted sex offenders are not allowed to use Facebook

Who can use Facebook? We take advantage of Facebook terms of use and think that just about everyone can use Facebook. However, there are restrictions on who can use Facebook.

Like when you are under 13 years of age you are not allowed to use Facebook and, even more importantly, if you are a convicted sex offender you can not use Facebook.

According to Facebook terms of use, Facebook, now Meta company, provides “services to you and others to help advance our mission.”

And by doing that or “In exchange, Facebook has outlined the following commitments:

Who can use Facebook

When people stand behind their opinions and actions, our community is safer and more accountable. For this reason, you must:

• Use the same name that you use in everyday life.
  
• Provide accurate information about yourself.
  
• Create only one account (your own) and use your timeline for personal purposes.
  
• Not share your password, give access to your Facebook account to others, or transfer your account to anyone else (without our permission).
  

We try to make Facebook broadly available to everyone, but you cannot use Facebook if:

• You are under 13 years old (or the minimum legal age in your country to use our Products).
  
• You are a convicted sex offender.
  
• We’ve previously disabled your account for violations of our Terms or Policies.
  
• You are prohibited from receiving our products, services, or software under applicable laws.
