United States
Persons under the age of 13 are prohibited from registering on social networks in the United States.
The claim "In the United States, persons under the age of 13 are prohibited from registering on social networks" aligns with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA mandates parental consent for children under 13. This effectively prohibits websites from collecting information on children younger than 13 without parental permission, serving as a de facto prohibition on registration. However, enforcement can be challenging.
