Learn more at: https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2025/04/how-use-parental-controls-keep-your-kid-safer-online Talking with your kids about your family’s rules and expectations is key to helping them establish good online habits. Some parents use parental controls to reinforce those good habits — and create safer online spaces for their kids to learn and play. Learn more at: https://www.ftc.gov/kidsonline #federaltradecommission #kidsonline #coppa #kidssafety ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Transcript: When it comes to helping your kids learn good online habits, there’s really no substitute for talking with them about your family’s rules and expectations. But parental controls can help reinforce those rules and encourage good online habits, too. Some controls help you manage the type of content your kids can access, while other tools restrict who they communicate with or limit how much time they spend online. You’ll find tools appropriate for your kid’s age and maturity level on phones, computers, apps, websites, and gaming platforms. Learn more at ftc.gov/KidsOnline. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American. It is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad sectors of the economy. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances consumers' interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and international government agencies; develops policy and research tools through hearings, workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies.

What to know about online search results. Learn more about how to avoid a search result scams at: https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2025/04/online-search-results-good-bad-and-scammy Transcript: When you search online, the top results you get are often paid for. You might see a label like “sponsored” or “ad.” They could be from a real company you might want to do business with. But sometimes, scammers pay to place paid ads, too. If you click, you might wind up losing money or your information. To make sure you don’t reach out to a scammer: Never assume the website or phone number in a paid search result is legit. And always doublecheck you’ve got the real contact info for the business or government agency you want to reach.

But if that love interest says they can’t meet you in person, asks you for money, or you find their picture in several profiles – you know it’s a scammer. Don’t send money. Instead, cut off contact.
