But if you have a teen keen to ride the latest social media wave, you probably only have one thing in mind:<\/span> is Threads safe for children<\/b>, <\/span>and what should my teen know<\/b> before they download it? <\/span><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Talking about Threads is difficult without bringing up Twitter, but seeing as it\u2019s the comparison everyone else is making, we\u2019ll follow suit, too. Speaking of suits, the similarities have not gone unnoticed at Twitter, and its lawyers have already <\/span>threatened legal action against Threads<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Threads behaves very similarly to other text-focused social media apps. <\/span>It\u2019s a space to microblog, or upload short, text-based posts<\/b>, comment on what other people are posting, and repost existing messages - or should that be \u201crethread\u201d? Threads posts are limited to 500 characters, and you can include links, photos, or short videos up to 5 minutes long.<\/span><\/p> So what\u2019s the difference between Threads and Twitter? In theory, not much, but in practice, <\/span>the app has Instagram\u2019s slightly more modern, fun look-and-feel<\/b>. The huge name behind Threads also sets it way ahead of would-be Twitter competitors such as Mastodon, where many Twitter users jumped ship to after Musk\u2019s buy-out in late 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Threads does share some similarities with Twitter, but there are also things that make Meta\u2019s new offering different.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Features of Threads:<\/b><\/p> Finally, because Threads is connected to your Instagram, <\/span>there\u2019s a ready-made follower base to interact with<\/b>. Potentially, this also could make the app more of a \u201cfriendship-focused\u201d platform, compared to Twitter, which has traditionally been more about news, celebrity, and the latest opinion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> In Gen Z world, Instagram has not been as popular as <\/span>other social media platforms like TikTok<\/span><\/a> for a while now, but <\/span>Meta\u2019s latest launch could convert some of those reluctant to use Twitter<\/b>, and get them \u201cthreading\u201d in no time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> As with Instagram, <\/span>users must be at least 13 years old to create an account in the US<\/b>. In other countries, this age can vary. In Spain, for example, the minimum age to use Instagram is 14, so parents should check through the Terms of Use in their own country before letting their child create an account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Despite the minimum age requirement, <\/span>many parents report that their children are using Instagram under the age of 13<\/b> - which, as all you need is an Instagram profile to set up Threads, means children could easily be using the new app. A <\/span>2022 report from Ofcom<\/span><\/a>, the UK\u2019s communications regulator, showed that 1 in 3 children aged 5-7 had their own social media profile, rising to 60% of kids aged 8-11. Because it\u2019s so easy to get around age requirements, <\/span>families need to be aware of the social media profiles their children have<\/b>, and whether the apps they\u2019re using are safe for younger kids to use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> One of the bigger red flags in terms of safety for Threads was the black hole of coverage in the European Union, right at the moment of release. While Instagram is not pointing the finger at the EU\u2019s regulatory laws, it\u2019s likely that these are holding up the launch there - and could even <\/span>prohibit the app from ever being available<\/span><\/a> in the region. <\/span>The EU Digital Markets Act prohibits companies like Instagram from mixing data<\/b> collected from Meta\u2019s overall portfolio of apps, including Threads, Instagram, and Facebook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Data concerns for social media apps are nothing new, and parents should certainly be aware of privacy risks before allowing children to download new social platforms. For Instagram\u2019s parent company, Meta, tracking and profiling users converts to cash, by compiling user data in order to better understand their interests, keep tight hold of their attention, and sell, sell, sell, through personalized ads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/www.qustodio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Threads-Safety-Guide_InsideImage.png\" alt=\"is instagram threads safe for teens\" title_text=\"Threads-Safety Guide_InsideImage\" align=\"center\" disabled_on=\"off|off|off\" _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" header_3_font_size=\"17px\" header_3_font_size_tablet=\"17px\" header_3_font_size_phone=\"17px\" header_3_font_size_last_edited=\"on|tablet\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.20.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> For children and teens, it\u2019s not just data collection that poses a risk.
