Microsoft takes a hardline stance against 13 to 17 year olds.
Major Nelson has revealed that those under 18 will not be able to acceess Twitter, Facebook and Last.fm from the new Xbox 360 dashboard when it updates. The decision was made because as of now parents aren't able to use Family Settings to customize which of these applications their children can access. Apparently Microsoft has made the decision to turn off these applications for those Gold members under the age of 18. The development team is supposedly working on an update that will give parents the choice of which social applications their children can access - so as long as you get parental approval 13 to 17 year olds will be able to use Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm.
