Is PolyBuzz Safe for Kids? Hidden Risks You Should Know About

Parents are discovering that PolyBuzz, a social platform marketed as kid-friendly, has been quietly collecting detailed behavioral data on children as young as eight without meaningful parental oversight, raising questions about whether the company's safety claims match its actual practices. Security researchers have identified multiple vulnerabilities that could expose children's location data and private messages, yet the company has resisted publishing a full transparency report on its data practices. The revelation comes as regulators increasingly scrutinize tech companies' treatment of minors, potentially setting the stage for the first major enforcement action under strengthened child privacy rules.
