What a better way to acknowledge "Safer Internet Day" and help protect our kids onlinethan to share our free and newly- released "Safety Settings for Popular Social Media Apps" Quick Guide!

Did you know that up to 95% of youth ages 13–17 report using a social media platform, with more than a third saying they use social media “almost constantly?” And although age 13 is commonly the required minimum age used by social media platforms in the U.S. nearly 40% of children ages 8–12 use social media. That's why it's essential you use safety and privacy settings for the most popular social networks. The top apps used by teens arefeatured in this 2-page guide, along with links to support pages describing how to implement these settings.

If you haven't already set privacy and safety features on these platforms, we hope you will use this guide to protect your loved ones from the online threats they may be exposed to including predators, traffickers, pornography, sextortion and cyberbullying, among others. 

Each February, Safer Internet Day is celebrated in more than 100 countries globally and aims to create both a safer and a better internet, where everyone is empowered to use technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively. You can do your part by joining our movement and staying actively involved in your child's online experiences. We're here to help by sharing tools, resources, including Quick Guides for Parents and Educators, and information on the most current threats and trends.
