Facebook must disclose any available records on the number of children under the age of 13 who have accounts in Northern Ireland or anywhere throughout the UK, the High Court in Belfast has ruled.

The order comes in the context of a trial that's been brought by a girl's father for alleged negligence and for breaching his daughter's right to privacy.

Starting when she was 11, the girl opened four separate Facebook accounts, in spite of Facebook's rule that users have to be at least 13 years old to sign up.
