Facebook Messenger Kids announced: A safe online environment for your children
The app will come with no ads and Facebook says it won't collect any of your children's data and that its newest software product complies to all federal law guidelines when it comes to the online privacy of minors:
“There are no ads in Messenger Kids and your child's information isn't used for ads. It is free to download and there are no in-app purchases.”
For now, at least, it seems that the only aim here is to provide the younger generation with a way of communication, but Facebook has a winning strategy buried shallow below all of that kid-friendly app. Facebook Messenger Kids is nothing but a way to hook-up your children to the ecosystem and have them sign up for the main Facebook and Messenger services once they come of age.
The app will be available only in the US, Facebook says, with a slow rollout on iOS devices right now and coming to an Android device near you in the coming months.
