Snap introduces Content Controls for Family Center

In a Tuesday post, Snap said, "Last year, we introduced Family Center on Snapchat to offer parents a way to gain insight into who their teens are communicating with on Snapchat and in a way that still protects their teens’ privacy. We also shared plans to add additional tools over time to help parents customize their teens’ individual experiences and needs. Today, we are pleased to roll out our latest feature for Family Center, Content Controls, which allow parents to limit the type of content their teens can watch on Snapchat. Snapchat was designed to be different from traditional social media platforms, and this extends to the way people consume content. There are two parts of our app where content can potentially reach a large audience: Stories is our content platform, where content creators, Snap Stars, and more than 900 media partners, such as NBC News, Axios, ESPN, Le Monde and People, provide trusted news, entertainment, sports and other genres. Stories is not an open platform – and creators and partners must abide by our content editorial guidelines. Spotlight is our entertainment platform, where Snapchatters can watch fun and creative content created by members of our community. On Spotlight, any content Snapchatters submit must comply with our Community Guidelines…Our new Content Controls in Family Center will allow parents to filter out Stories from publishers or creators that may have been identified as sensitive or suggestive. To enable Content Controls, parents will need to have an existing Family Center set up with their teen." Reference Link
