Music.ly: Fun + Scary at Same Time
 

 
(By Alan W. Silberberg, father of 2 Warner kids + 1 Alumni, and Founder of Digijaks which is a cyber security company with emphasis on preventing socially engineered attacks. He is a member of the California Cyber Security Task Force + a Subject Matter Expert on Cyber Security for the U.S. SBA.)
 
Music.ly is fun, and widely used amongst both students and parents at Warner. But, it also has some problems. That sounds a little scary, and perhaps for some people, if not many, like science fiction. There have been many incidents recently that highlight several types of privacy invasion and also several types of potential risks to youth, especially of the age of kids at Warner.
As this article states: The problems that exist on Music.ly include inappropriate lyrics, comments that can be bullying or suggestive in nature; as well as problems with how the filters and videos can be used.
On the cyber security level there are other real issues as well. It has been documented several times now that the company has little to no protections built in for younger users; and it is far too easy for an adult to pretend to be a child and make friends on this app. This creates a dangerous situation for those not paying attention, and or not using what security and privacy tools they have in place.  This article addresses the issues around potential child pornography with the app.
There have also been documented privacy breaches; and the company’s terms of service and technological underpinnings have not been updated appropriately to make real viable changes yet. There are few, if any real protections against their databases getting hacked. Indeed because 80 million + kids and families are on it globally, the company a hacking target.
Solutions:
  • Ensure your child is only using PRIVATE mode, + not exposing themselves with a public profile.
  • Work with your children to ensure you, and they know all the people they are friends with on the app, in real life. Kids this age have no business having strange friends.
  • Lock down all the available privacy settings, security settings, and the comments should not be open to public either.
  • Monitor and work with your children to understand how the direct private messages work, and how important it is for all of us to be aware of this function.
  • Like any app use for kids this age, best when used in a family room or car with parents in nearby proximity.  Do not allow this to be used by young children by themselves, or in their own rooms without any adults around.
Digijaks has created a unique way for families, small businesses to begin assessing and strengthening their cyber posture.  click here and begin today.

Special Screening of “Screenagers” – Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm in the Banooni Auditorium

We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.

SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.

Film time: One hour 6 minutes

Appropriate for adults and kids 10 and older (however, many parents bring kids younger than 10 and are happy they did.)

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions
