Old people are banned from Faceparty in case they are perverts

File under the strange things that social networking sites think will stop sex offenders, or maybe that should be really stupid things because Faceparty has reportedly deleted the accounts of most of its users who are over the age of 36 for just that reasoning. Yep, although it beggars belief, Out-Law.com says that Faceparty claims UK Government law is behind the move even though the particular legislation in question has yet to come into force. It reports that a "huge number of accounts" have been deleted for a number of reasons to do with filtering out the potential sexual predators, and cites being over 36 amongst them.
