Is Twitter appropriate for 15 year olds? ›

The best way to ensure that Twitter is a safe space for your kids is by protecting their tweets. Doing so helps avoid strangers, trolls, or unknown people liking or commenting on their tweets. It restricts content to only people who follow your child—these should be people your tween or teen already knows.

Parents and children need to be aware of some risks when using Twitter. For example, accessing adult content is very easy. A simple search for explicit keywords or hastags returns many inappropriate results. If your kid follows these accounts, they will receive these updates in their news feed.

Privacy 🔒 Rating: Location services allow your child to “check in” and let the world know where they are, which could lead to the potential for a stranger to find them all too easily. Also, many people choose to use their real name on Twitter, which could enable strangers to find out a lot of information about them.

How can users stay safe? X has a range of privacy and safety settings that young people can make use of on the platform. They give users the option to not only block and report other users but also mute them. Users can also limit who can see their posts, who can contact them and who can tag them.

How safe is TikTok? Using any social network can be risky, but it's possible for kids to safely use the app with adult supervision (and a private account). TikTok has different rules for different ages: Users under age 13 can't post videos or comment, and content is curated for a younger audience.

Activate Private Account Settings: Enable private account settings for your kids and teens to control who can view their posts and activities. Disable Location Sharing in Photos: Turn off the option to share location data when posting photos to prevent revealing your children's whereabouts.

If you search for someone on Twitter by using their handle, Twitter won't let them know that you conducted that search, and if you visit their profile, they won't know that you looked for them either. So, as you just read, there are no ways for people to see what you search on Twitter.
