Parental tools & visibility

Provide an easily accessible online dashboard that lets a parent or guardian monitor a minor's usage patterns and restrict the minor's access to the platform.

Statute’s own ages: Applies to minor users (under 16).

Give a consenting parent access to a dashboard to view the minor's posts and messages, control privacy and account settings, and monitor and limit time on the platform.

Statute’s own ages: Account holders 17 and under ('minor' = under 18).

Provide parental tools (privacy management, blocking financial transactions, and limiting time on the service); these tools are enabled by default for known children under 13.

Statute’s own ages: Default-on parental tools apply to known children under 13; parental tools are otherwise available for minor accounts.

Provide age-tiered parental controls: for users under 13, a parent must approve friend/connection requests and may view the minor's contact list; for users 13-15, the minor may approve requests and a parent is notified of privacy-setting changes; for users 16-17, the minor controls requests and a parent is notified of (but cannot block) privacy-setting downgrades. For all users under 18, a parent must approve financial transactions.

Statute’s own ages: Three statutory tiers (under 13, 13-15, and 16-17) plus an under-18 rule for financial-transaction approval.

Provide default-on parental controls for users known to be minors, including account-supervision tools (view privacy settings and connections, set daily time limits, schedule breaks, and receive reports).

Statute’s own ages: Applies to accounts of known minors under 18.

Provide parents with tools to supervise a known minor's account, including privacy and account settings.

Statute’s own ages: Minor = under 18
