The attorneys general said in the letter, organized by the National Association of Attorneys General, that they were not endorsing a particular parental control product. Some people have raised concerns that third-party parental controls surveil young people but do little to actually stop them from encountering harmful content. A group of attorneys general on Tuesday asked Snap and TikTok to work more closely with parental control apps and to apply more scrutiny to inappropriate content on their platforms, the latest salvo in a growing fight over child protection between governments and social media companies.Īttorneys general from 43 states and territories said in a letter to executives at the two apps that they were worried the companies were “not taking appropriate steps to allow parents to protect their kids on your platforms.” Specifically, the officials said that Snap, which makes the Snapchat app, and TikTok should work more closely with third-party parental control services.
