Glynnis Bohannon is none too happy with
Facebook right now. She argues her son – who purchased Facebook Credits
for use in social games – did not know he was spending real-world
money, and is looking for a refund. She's also trying to get Facebook to
give back money to all the minors in the US who had laid down cash, and
is looking for funds exceeding $5 million, court documents show.
Bohannon
says Facebook's currency system goes against consumer protection laws
in California. Minors from the age of 13 on can create an account on
Facebook and purchase Facebook Credits, though there are warnings that
individuals under the age of 18 must have permission from a parent. No
specific apps were mentioned in the filing.
