Internet is free everywhere, however Facebook rules apply globally regardless of country, this is because the 'rules' governing Facebook are based on the country of service origin and not the country it is accessed from. This applies to all internet sites around the world. When you log into Facebook for the first time you must click that you agree to the Terms of Service which includes the rule "must be 13 years of age or older". Human rights have nothing at all to do with the internet or individual company policy. Access to the internet is not a human right by the way. As for Human Rights, while the United Nations has issued declarations concerning basic human rights it is up to each individual country to uphold them, this is why there are currently conflicts in countries such as Syria, Egypt and Afghanistan. I suggest you do a Google search for "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights", since it was drafted in 1948 which is 60 years before the internet existed I have my doubts you will find anything referring to a right to be on the internet and not have individual site policies and terms of service apply to you. If you knew anything about human rights you would not make such a petty and irresponsible statement. I'd tell you what Human Rights are called for (but unfortunately not upheld) but you really need to read the text to understand it and not just abuse the sanctity of human rights by applying it to everything you are told you can't do just like a child would do. In reference to age limits I suggest reading "Facebook Statement of Rights and Responsibilities" subsection on 'Registration and Account Security' which you were supposed to read and had to click agreement to when you signed up for Facebook. Please feel free to ask Facebook administration if it is ok for you to have an account on their website. When you grow up you will understand that human rights are not a right they are a responsibility.
