March for The Arts Group

The open and uncontrolled nature of chat rooms in Tinychats made this application unsafe for child users. Random chat features on the platform placed children at risk of encountering inappropriate content as well as transmission of adult conversations. The platform implemented reporting features as security elements but insufficient age verification procedures made using Tinychat dangerous. Online monitoring of children's activities should be combined with the use of age-appropriate platforms advised parents. The features and audience demographics of Tinychat made this platform appropriate mainly for adult users above the teenage years.
