Keeping children safe online

Plume IQ

With smart home device usage at unprecedented levels, it's vital that parents keep their children safe online. Analyzing common protection categories applied in the Plume App, we spotted some fascinating trends. While smartphones have content blocked almost equally across age groups, tablets have content filtered 4x more readily for kids aged 12 years and under. At a category level, personal sites and blogs had a noticeably higher monthly block rate of 186 events for teens, who may well wish to reach out to influencers, however, not all influences on the web are positive.
