This makes me so nervous for my little one just starting with their tablet—what if they accidentally stumble onto apps like this or see something they can’t unsee? Are there settings to prevent them from ever even finding social media, and what if those settings fail or they find a workaround? I’m terrified that even “safe” games might have hidden chat features I don’t know about!
