Facebook Messenger Kids App Is Expanding

Facebook's controversial Messenger Kids app is heading outside the U.S. to Canada and Peru. From a report: As part of the expansion, the social networking giant said Friday that it would also debut Spanish and French language versions of the children's messaging app that are now available in all three countries where the service is available. Facebook introduced Messenger Kids in December, pitching it as a safer way for children under 13 to chat with friends while sending them silly GIFs, emoji, and other goofy digital imagery. Unlike the core Facebook social networking service or other messaging apps, Facebook said that Messenger Kids does not display any online ads or allow kids to buy things within the app.

What parent, in their conscious, stable mind would allow his/her kids on facebook? Intelligent, thinking people should have already deleted their accounts.

Re:

I instructed facebook to delete mine 5 years ago. Now, whether it was actually deleted or not is another question.

This is just Facebook implementing features based on their user surveys. [usatoday.com]

Well based on your own statement, it must logically be the unintelligent, unthinking people with kids.

Re:

Obviously, logically.

Truly intelligent, thinking people never had one to begin with.

Perhaps, except that I forced myself to get an account years ago to learn about what my daughter was about to get into. It didn't take long. So I stick to my original assertion about intelligence. The intelligent human learns from his/her mistakes. ...Actually, dumb monkeys do to. The rest of the human race? Hmm...Trump is still president.

No kidding. Facebook is creepy as hell if you're an adult, it's orders of magnitude creepier when it starts preying on children.

You’re not kidding. [usatoday.com]
