Key Points
Some Jewish schools and community groups have suggested that parents delete X, TikTok, Instagram and other apps from their childrens phones, after horrifying images began circulating on social media this week..
News organizations (including The Wall Street Journal) may also present scenes of violence, but typically provide warnings or censor graphic details..
If kids are honest about their ages when creating social-media accounts, most platforms have default settings that typically filter out graphic content for teens..
These accounts offer three content settingschannels approved for ages 9 and older, but no livestreams; channels deemed OK for kids 13 and up, including livestreams; and anything that isnt labeled 18+..
While parents cant control the content their kids see, they can view the teens sensitive-content setting, and use that as a way to encourage them to adjust their settings (see above)..
