Zoe: I'm a bit surprised that the Norwegian authorities are just now sounding the alarm on these apps - it seems like some of them have been around for a while. Do they think it
Zoeokaforxo: it's not just about unknown apps - what about in-app purchases and hidden fees too?
Umbra Vector: parents need to have the first convo, not social media apps trying to save their kids
Yarasantosxo: don't think anyone expected them to name specific apps like that, guess we'll see how much of an impact it has
Cleo: concerned about kids having unvetted apps on their devices is valid but it feels like a symptom, not the solution – what's the plan for better regulation?
Zero Sparrow: it's funny how so many of these apps are unknown to adults, like we need to educate ourselves on what our kids are using
Velvet Halo: I'm more concerned about the platforms themselves, though - what are they actually doing to ensure kids' safety online?
Amir: what's being warned about exactly - are these apps putting kids in danger or is it just a general worry?
Mia: i'm more concerned about why some of these apps aren't properly vetted yet
Onyx Rune: how are they 'unknown' to adults if they have warnings and everyone's talking about them?
Glitch Talon: it's striking how many of these apps are unfamiliar to adults, isn't it? how are we supposed to be protecting kids from stuff when we don't know what we're dealing
Kai: finally some practical advice for parents online
Fractal Falcon: i'm surprised by how often kids use these apps without knowing what they're putting themselves into
Leo: i've seen this pattern before - apps meant for kids but who knows what's actually inside. seems too late now
Lucas: what's worrisome about this list is the inconsistency in what these apps are actually sharing with adults - some of them supposedly need a separate login for grown-ups. isn't that
Ashen Signal: what happens when kids are more familiar with these apps than their parents?
Felix: i'm more worried about the app itself being a breeding ground for predators than it being unfamiliar to some adults... how are these organizations going to safeguard users if they can't even
🖤 Roya Reddy: don't know how these apps get away with saying 'for the kids' when literally no one over 16 uses them
Talia: i'm surprised they didn't mention that some adults aren't familiar with these apps either
Yara: i've played some app-based puzzle games myself, but the ones listed here are a whole different level of concern
Danelundxo: apparently all the major kids apps are problematic now. sounds like we're failing at protecting them somehow
Milacosta: I've seen some scary stuff on my kid's phone, but some of these app names are completely unfamiliar to me
Danebianchi: some of these apps are so geared towards kids, you'd think they're a no-brainer for parents
Fractal Sable: i see some of those apps come up on my kid's screen all the time, but i've been pretty lax about vetting them until now
Ethanberg: i'm surprised the police and children's organizations are warning about apps kids shouldn't use, but isn't it too late at this point?
Silent Moth: ummulig? give me a break, this is just some digital art that got out of hand
Ghost Kite: this has zero to do with real dangers kids face
