In terms of usability and giving parents moderation control, I think they've done a good job. I hate Facebook, but I'll recommend messenger kids because it actually makes some effort to give parents control over what their child is doing.
I think the real conversation should be about data collection and what kind of profiles they are / aren't building. I don't think kids should be trained from age 6 onwards to think the privacy invasions being foisted on us by our current social media companies are ok. I don't mind if Facebook is using it as a "hook them early" kind of product since there's some reciprocal value, but they shouldn't be allowed to collect any data or build any profiles on kids.
> Facebook believes its app complies with COPPA.
Believes? Lol.
I'm also not really sure what everyone thinks Facebook should do about online bullying. That's not a Facebook problem. It's a society problem. If Facebook starts to monitor and analyze every interaction teens will simply find another platform because they don't want their privacy violated like that. I don't blame them.
