Important Online Safety Message from Merseyside Police Polybuzz and children's safety Polybuzz has been flagged as potentially unsafe for children due to its content and lack of parental controls. The app is designed with safety in mind, offering graded modes for different age groups, but it has been criticized for allowing underage users to bypass these safety features. The app's content is heavily skewed towards relationship bots, romantic scenarios, and sexualized encounters, which can be inappropriate for children. Additionally, Polybuzz lacks effective age verification and parental controls, raising concerns about the safety of its content for younger users. Parents are advised to exercise caution and consider alternative, safer AI chat platforms for their children.
