Although Instagram is technically restricted to those younger than 13 , it’s easy for any kid with an iTunes account to navigate around those rules. Once they’re on, their photos can be viewed by anyone, anywhere, if the settings are on default. Those photos often include location - and remember that’s in real time. If that’s not enough to scare you, maybe Instaporn will. Although there are rules against adult content on Instagram, there are only a handful of screeners watching more than 80 million users for violations. If your child is on Instagram, it’s a good idea to follow them yourself and keep your eye on who they are following and who is photo-following your child.
