Antiland, named on screen in Predator Hunters this year, is an anonymous chat app: 45m+ users, no age checks, points for messaging strangers. Rules say 17+. Nobody checks. Please share, another parent needs to see this. #OnlineSafety #UKParents
By 13, the average child has had over 1,300 photos posted online by their parents. They never agreed to that. Free Sharenting guide at guides.cybersafetyguy.com #Sharenting #DigitalParenting #OnlineSafety #ChildPrivacy #CyberSafetyGuy
A new challenge is going viral. Before it reaches your child's school, here's what to know. Talk about peer pressure before it happens. Check the CSG Threat Radar at guides.cybersafetyguy.com #OnlineChallenges #DigitalParenting #OnlineSafety #TeenSafety #CyberSafetyGuy
708 videos a day. Half watched for five seconds or less. That's not a guess, it's what researchers found when they tracked real UK children's phones, minute by minute. Three in four of those children were still on TikTok between midnight and 6am. #CyberSafetyGuy #Safeguarding #DigitalParenting
Your child doesn't need a phone number to sign up for this app. No logs. No message history. No account tied to anything real. It's called Zangi, and it's not on most parents' radar because it's not one of the big names. That's exactly the point, and exactly the risk.

Online sextortion is when a child is coerced into sending a sexual image of themselves, then blackmailed with it, and new IWF data shows nine UK children a week are asking for help because of it. Childline: 0800 1111 | childline.org.uk

Minecraft is brilliant. It's also a gateway to unmoderated multiplayer servers. Most parents don't know this. Keep younger children offline or research servers together. #MinecraftSafety #GamingSafety #OnlineSafety #DigitalParenting #CyberSafetyGuy

Someone sent me a tool called PimEyes. Finds any face across the internet. Anyone can use it. Journalists tested it with kids' photos. Some results flagged as explicit. Don't search for your child on it. Find what's out there and opt out. cybersafetyguy.com
There's one man on Instagram I think every parent of a boy should know about. Not because he's famous. Because he's doing the work nobody else is doing. New post 👇 #OnlineSafety #PositiveMasculinity #UKParents www.cybersafetyguy.com/p/the-man-yo...
Your child's account has been hacked. What happens in the next hour determines the damage done. Account recovery, password changes, and reporting. #AccountSafety #OnlineSafety #DigitalParenting #CyberSecurity #CyberSafetyGuy

I dont take a penny from Cyber Safety Guy. Every subscription goes to Childline. But people keep asking how to support the work. Now there is a way.
I put free child safety content out every week. Nights. Weekends. Reels. Posts. Guides. Some days it feels like shouting into a wall. If something I've made has ever helped you, share it. That's it. That's the whole ask. The algorithm won't protect children. You will.
The Wizz Parent Guide is now live at guides.cybersafetyguy.com. Free, no sign-up needed. Covers what the app is, how predators use it, and the steps you can take today to protect your child.
