   Lol at these cops sliding the world's most popular encrypted messaging app into this list of apps that are "unsafe for kids" with literally no explanation. Afraid you won't be able to read the messages kids are sending about the SRO?

      @ink_slinger uh oh, this messaging app deletes messages after 24 hours. BANNED. THE WORST.

      oh, also kik and grindr.

         @thurloat Yeah, Grindr stood out to me, as well. Noticeably absent is the ciset equivalent (Tinder). 🤔

         Although, they did include Bumble, which I'd actually assume would be among the "safer" dating apps, since women need to make the first move so it's harder for teenage boys to be creeps right off the bat.
