Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@webhat are they 13 or over? if not, it's a ToS/CoPPA violation anyway and a moot point.
if so, it's hard to answer without deeper context. I would at least want to investigate the parental controls that are available before saying yes.
I'm personally extremely not a fan of shorts/tiktok, but kids are their own people with their own preferences so I'm also hesitant to suggest controlling their media usage. it's a difficult line to balance.
@webhat (oh, right, you said teen so CoPPA is irrelevant, derp. sorry, got a cold so I'm a bit out of it)
@gsuberland no worries, thanks for replying. I purposely left out context, because privacy 😊
Parental controls are limited to phone/app time limits, Android Family Link. The parental controls and limits are not great, similar to what the commercial Google has, just adapted for families. Potentially I could harden the phone to lock it down more, although treating my children as the enemy is not really what I want
