The shocking news recently about a dating app that can be used by children under the age of 13 has been circulating in cyberspace. However, the three dating apps have been blocked by Google and Apple.
As Dafunda Tekno quoted from Engadgetthese dating applications include: Fastmeet, Meet24, and Meet4U. The three applications were both developed by developer Wildec.
Google and Apple managed to block these three apps from store respectively after the American Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found an application that allowed children under the age of 13 to register. Then it violates the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Act (COPPA).
Dating Apps For Minors Blocked
As stated by the FTC, actually the developers of the application have realized that there are also minors who use this application. However, there have been several people who have been arrested and prosecuted for contacting minors through the dating app.
The FTC has also forced Wildec to delete the data and information of minors who have already registered. And requesting the app include access for parental consent and not violate COPPA rules and FTC laws. If the changes are really made, then Wildec is allowed back into the Google Store and Apple Store again.
