I wouldn't say we do that much in onboarding, but we do have a resources page specifically for misuse, and we made a feature called Bubbles that allows you to turn off exact location but still keep all safety features active. We also are a two-way street by default, e.g. if you can see me, I can see you. Our competitors usually have a parent and child version where one person is in control.

I've also taken a lot of vitriol for publicly calling out parents who misuse the app. This culminated in a TikTok campaign that got over 7 billion views publicizing our privacy features (look up #ghostmode - the number is not an exaggeration)



Thanks for the response. I get that it's a tough space to be in, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond, especially to a crowd that is pretty aggressive about this kind of software.
