On Tuesday, Snap, the company behind the popular messaging app Snapchat<\/a>, released its first set of parental control features. These tools will let parents monitor who their children are talking to on the app, but not the content of those chats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Launching at a time when social media companies have come under fire for lacking adequate child protection is the new feature named Family Center. In an October testimony before US legislators, Snap and its digital rivals TikTok<\/a> and YouTube were accused of exposing young users to bullying or directing them toward inappropriate content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the release of internal papers by a Facebook<\/a> whistleblower that allegedly indicated the app negatively impacted some kids' mental health and body image, Instagram also provided testimony before a Senate hearing on children's online safety in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
