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.
