KidTech Safety Report

KidTech Safety Report is an independent publication that evaluates the privacy, security and technical design of children's digital safety apps. It explains, in terms parents can follow, how different tools work under the hood, such as browser-level filtering versus DNS blocking, and why that affects what a child can still reach. Coverage includes how well tools contain YouTube Shorts, how apps handle children's data under COPPA, common threat models and bypass routes, and how third-party tools work alongside built-in operating system controls. A comparison matrix summarises findings across about a dozen applications. The site publishes its editorial standards and review dates, and is aimed at parents who want to understand the trade-offs behind a parental control product before relying on it.
