Is Discord Safe for Kids? | Ask SafeWise

Показать описание

Discord is a platform where users can create their own online communities. These servers can be as small as a few friends or home to hundreds of thousands of fans. While the app is designed for users 13 years and older, its lack of parental controls and exposure to so many strangers makes us wonder if Discord is safe for kids.

In this week's Ask SafeWise, we look at the platform Discord, what it is, how it works, the risks, and what you can do as a parent to keep your kids safe while using it.

It's also dangerous for some discord servers because they can be shut down because children are in them

My daughter acts like an innocent 11 year old … the things i just discovered on her discord has me questioning the last 11 years of my parenting because im truly appalled.

Atp she just wont have any electronics at all until shes 16 at least

Discord is a dangerous place, honestly if you’re a child just join a private server with your friends

Ik this is an old vid, but I’m 12 and want discord.
And my parents are kinda strict, is it really safe or should I just wait until I’m of age?

Should I download discord because I’m 13 and I’m considering it but the video did say it wasn’t good for younger teens and since you become a teen at 13 or at least that’s what I consider should I download it.
I have been exposed to questionable content before thanks to my country and it’s culture that prefers to be direct so take that into account when giving advice.
Thanks.

I know this video will be 2 years old in july this year, but lucky Parent control is an option in Discord today, it's called Family Center. I don't see a video on your YT channel following up on that :) My niece is turning 9 this july, and her "sister"-BFF is turning 9 in october. They also have a summer friend who is turning 6 years in april (one of my best friends son). They all play Minecraft local, and because they don't see each other that often since my niece had to move, I came up with the idea they could play together online. So I have helped setting up Discord account for the kids with Family Center turned on, I made a Discord server only for them, and they have a Realms they can play at. It works perfect, the kids are safe and are having a wonderfull time playing Minecraft together, with supervision from us adults. :)
