Parents.of teenagers, the BeReal app is advertising cigarettes to your children. My 17 year old son, at breakfast this morning, showed me an ad for Newport cigarettes for $11.05 per pack. Please monitor your children’s online activities!
Something that may be important to know: BeReal had this controversy where they sold survey data to Facebook, am pretty sure it said no data is shared.
Aint this is a crime in the US?
Its supposed to be but idk how it’s regulated over the internet.
Well, internet is not spme ether. Websites are owned by legal entities registered within certian jurisdictions to do business.
Presumably bereal is regiatered within US and subject to US law thay it is currently violating.
A report within app is a start, them report it to attorney general office in your state with proper evidence…
Screenshots and proper outline of facts so an state attorney can work with it.
Granted US is corpo dystopia but if peoppe did this more maybe it would be less so.
“Hey kid, want some happysticks?”
You don’t want to sell me happy sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life.
While this may be true, and monitoring your kids’ internet exposure is generally good, can we please not turn the fediverse into Facebook? I hate this kind of alarmist shit.
