Parents.of teenagers, the BeReal app is advertising cigarettes to your children. My 17 year old son, at breakfast this morning, showed me an ad for Newport cigarettes for $11.05 per pack. Please monitor your children’s online activities!
“Hey kid, want some happysticks?”
You don’t want to sell me happy sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life.
Something that may be important to know: BeReal had this controversy where they sold survey data to Facebook, am pretty sure it said no data is shared.
Is this that “capture what you’re doing” app?
I don’t believe people would use that for nefarious means. No way!
Aint this is a crime in the US?
Its supposed to be but idk how it’s regulated over the internet.
While this may be true, and monitoring your kids’ internet exposure is generally good, can we please not turn the fediverse into Facebook? I hate this kind of alarmist shit.
