Safeguarding concerns have been raised about an APP called House Party in respect to live streaming. The House Party is taking social media by storm. It’s from the same company that created Fortnite. Over the last 48 hours there has been lots of misinformation over social media about it. As with all live-streaming platforms it can put young people at risk.
If an uninvited guest joins a room they can easily ‘friend’ others taking part in the live stream.
It appears that when a friend is invited, their friends can also join a ‘room’ without the invitation and therefore potentially increase the opportunity to cyber-bully and troll others.
