URGENT MESSAGE TO PARENTS RE: APPS
Please remember a few “laws” of internet safety:
- There’s no such thing as privacy in any app.
- Any app that allows people to upload content is always going to have a very dark side.
- Any app that is difficult to monitor will have greater risk of abuse. Musical.ly, has an age restriction of 13+, like Instagram and Facebook. This is for your child's safety.
- Find out more about these apps:https://protectyoungeyes.com/apps/ this site allows you to click on any of these apps to find out how safe your child is.
