There is a "Share" Facebook icon, but Facebook Terms of Service indicate must be 13+

mrsteve

As per Facebook Terms of Service item 5 under “Registration and Account Security”

You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.

Yet there is a Facebook Icon when you click “Share”

Perhaps folks weren't aware of this.

FYI, thanks to Walter Bender from SugarLabs for pointing this out.

FYI, same is true for Google+ and YouTube http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1350409

Interestingly I couldn't find anything on Twitter about age restrictions. I guess anyone can be a Twit and limit their speech to 140 characters

Yep, this is an interesting conundrum. Our site is for ages 8+, but really there is no restriction - and we have plenty of users who are over 13. Is there are a concern about offering a feature that can only be used by people who are above a certain age (according to FB TOU)? It might also be possible, and I suspect perfectly ok with facebook, for a parent to share something their kid made to FB via this functionality, right?

Meh.
It really doesn't matter; people under 13 will find their way on Facebook.

I've been listening to…
Ogre Battle // Queen // Queen II // Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Progressive Metal
Orion // Metallica // Master of Puppets // Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, Instrumental
Damage Inc. // Metallica// Master of Puppets // Thrash Metal, Heavy Metal
Snow (Hey Oh) // Red Hot Chilli Peppers // Snow (Hey Oh) // Soft Rock, Acoustic
Who Wants To Live Forever // Queen // A Kind of Magic // Power Ballad, Soft Rock
I suggest you listen to…
For a influential playlist: Damage Inc and Orion. Both of these songs are part of the album that revolutionized heavy and thrash metal forever.

That's what I thought

Unless the OP somehow believed this would be creating a FaceBook for the kid and encouraging illegal activity, I don't see any problem with those who can and want to being able to share things.

EDIT: Typo.

I think its fine and a really good idea to allow sharing via Facebook, Google+, Youtube etc. That's where the kids are and it will allow them to use Scratch to express themselves outside of the Scratch community (and hopefully bring more in).

I was simply curious how you were dealing with it as we face similar issues. Given the Scratch communities concern over protecting kids, I thought it would good to hear your perspective.

Thanks,
Stephen

sooo if you have links to a potentialy malicious site for children like facebook how come you dont approve of chat projects, after all those sites are social networking???

Pondering what to work on.

Please stop necroposting in the oldest suggestions. The share feature doesn’t even exist anymore.

Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that

Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-
user1: That picture is from 2.0. Now he’s at my house and is my pet.
user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.
