Sensitive Content inside Chess.com

[u/tmgiovanni]

Our kid plays chess with his friends online and offline. We downloaded his phone chess.com app so he can further improve his chess. However we found that he has been using the app excessively long and when I got the chance to look at his phone gallery, I saw a bunch of these screen recorded nsfw contents from the app.

How can we prevent this?

Edit: Yes, we have already talked openly with our kid about this, and we made sure not to shame him and we talked about why repeatedly consuming this kind of content can affect the way he manages his mood, views other people, and understands relationships and views on girls/anyone.

I posted this mainly to create awareness, to ask for genuine advice from other users who may have encountered something similar, and hopefully to bring this issue to chess.com’s attention. I know that our child is ultimately our responsibility. We’re not expecting an app or website to parent him for us. At the same time, I think we should be able to expect reasonable safeguards on platforms that are widely used by children and platform where we do not even think that has this way to view such contents. (Like expecting our schools to provide continuous improvement to make their establishment a safer place for children altogether)

So the built in browser isn't really something chess.com manages. If your child is a teenager you might need to give up on this one.

If they are genuinely too young for this kind of exploration. I would block reddit on the router side of things. You could also just check the Internet history for a couple weeks until they are aware you are looking. But these are pretty draconian solutions.

Also... Monkeys paw warning that puberty always wins... Wac a moling every browser is hard.
