Is there an age restriction on LiveJournal?

Is there a max or minumum age requirement for the website?

Is there an age restriction on LiveJournal?
In order to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), LiveJournal requires that users under the age of thirteen have parental permission to use the site. Registering with a birthdate indicating that you are under the age of thirteen will flag your account as underage, and any subsequent accounts you create will also be marked as underage, until you complete the age verification process.





United States law requires that LiveJournal implement these restrictions; because LiveJournal is located in the United States, all users must comply with these requirements, even if they live elsewhere. Users under the age of thirteen will need to complete their process with their parents. Similarly, any user whose account was incorrectly flagged as underage will also need to complete the age verification process in order to use their account.





If your account was incorrectly flagged as underage when you created it – either because you incorrectly entered your birthdate or used a computer after someone else who is underage – you can complete the verification process using your own information, rather than that of a parent or guardian. Without completing the age verification process, you will not be able to use your account.
Reply:No, there is no age restriction on livejournal. There is an age requirement that you have to be age 13 or they will mark everything you do underage.
