Comments

  1. 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
  2. Zoeokaforxo: it's not just about unknown apps - what about in-app purchases and hidden fees too?
  3. Umbra Vector: parents need to have the first convo, not social media apps trying to save their kids
  4. Yarasantosxo: don't think anyone expected them to name specific apps like that, guess we'll see how much of an impact it has
  5. 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?
  6. 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
  7. Velvet Halo: I'm more concerned about the platforms themselves, though - what are they actually doing to ensure kids' safety online?
  8. Amir: what's being warned about exactly - are these apps putting kids in danger or is it just a general worry?
  9. Mia: i'm more concerned about why some of these apps aren't properly vetted yet
  10. Onyx Rune: how are they 'unknown' to adults if they have warnings and everyone's talking about them?
  11. 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
  12. Kai: finally some practical advice for parents online
  13. Fractal Falcon: i'm surprised by how often kids use these apps without knowing what they're putting themselves into
  14. Leo: i've seen this pattern before - apps meant for kids but who knows what's actually inside. seems too late now
  15. 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
  16. Ashen Signal: what happens when kids are more familiar with these apps than their parents?
  17. 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
  18. 🖤 Roya Reddy: don't know how these apps get away with saying 'for the kids' when literally no one over 16 uses them
  19. Talia: i'm surprised they didn't mention that some adults aren't familiar with these apps either
  20. Yara: i've played some app-based puzzle games myself, but the ones listed here are a whole different level of concern
  21. Danelundxo: apparently all the major kids apps are problematic now. sounds like we're failing at protecting them somehow
  22. Milacosta: I've seen some scary stuff on my kid's phone, but some of these app names are completely unfamiliar to me
  23. Danebianchi: some of these apps are so geared towards kids, you'd think they're a no-brainer for parents
  24. 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
  25. 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?
  26. Silent Moth: ummulig? give me a break, this is just some digital art that got out of hand
  27. Ghost Kite: this has zero to do with real dangers kids face
