Top 10 Most Dangerous Social Media Apps

Who's anymonous? {block} I learned about these dangerous apps when at a social media seminar. By dangerous, I mean easy exposure to online predators, inappropriate content, and cyber bullying.
The Top Ten
1 Ask.fm

Several suicides have been linked to this app across Ireland. People can ask anonymous questions and torment others. There's also sexual harassment. Many of my female classmates have been solicited for sex on this app, by this unknown person. It could've been a classmate joking around or a 50 year old pedophile. My friend told me that someone close to her was cutting because of all the cyber bullying she experienced on this app

This app is used for cyber bullying and sexual harrasment its also used for child predators and for people to actually urge people to commit suicide! This website needs to be taken down!

I once read a story about someone who used this. She sent anonymous hateful messages to herself, then later committed suicide.

2 Snapchat Snapchat is an American multimedia instant messaging app and service developed by Snap Inc., originally Snapchat Inc. One of the principal features of Snapchat is that pictures and messages are usually only available for a short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients. The app has evolved from originally focusing on person-to-person photo sharing to presently featuring users' "Stories"... read more

I don't use it often but there's so much drama in it… way too many toxic people and it was made for nudes ! What is this monstrosity ? Sending nudes is a waste of time and I would feel bad for anyone who's forced to do it :(
Snapchat is okay, but so many side effects to it..

I have had someone take a naked pic of me in a locker room and then post it on snapchat to her story where everyone could see it I was humiliated and I still am!

It's not even that inappropriate. As far as I know, you can only find people by their username, or on the Nearby page. Most people don't use their real names, so it's not like I can find your Snapchat as easily as I can find your FB page.

3 Facebook Facebook is a corporation and an online social networking service headquartered in Menlo Park, California, in the United States.

So many people on Facebook groups that have stupid profile pics and tons of random pictures and the ones that are the most shady ones, a user by the name of Whang Chung is one of the sickest people on there. Look the person up… All he or she does is try to piss people off to make him or herself feel more confident. I had to remove my mail profile pic because he bashed my family repeatedly. There's more people like that too. Avoid those kind of accounts. I hope that person gets karma.

Fb is a terrible place I no longer use it from today in fact they wont allow you to even have an opinion if it goes against them. if you are a goody person you get rewards regarding like amounts on the posts and possibly more friend requests as the reward and if you're a not a goody you end up in the sin bin!

Rather toxic place. Many discussions I've watched are on very low level, mostly name-calling intead of actual arguments. The requirement to use real identity doesn't help at all, it's like everyone gets some kind of internet rage. I've seen social sites allowing more anonimity where the users can be much more civile.

4 Omegle

I tried going on once, here's the types of people on here

The Perv: The most common person on here. Some 30 year old jacking off

The Kiddo: Some 8 year old looking for girls because, that's what the kids do

The Predators: These are real people and if you see a man over 40 on here instantly close out. They sometimes use videos of girls to lure in little boys "stranger may be using a simulated cam" is a red flag

The Bots: robots putting up ads for other chat sites

The Real People: Very rarely, you will find a nice person on here to talk to. But, this is really rare

I've seen videos like "Smile dog goes on omegle!"
It's dangerous and you meet people you DON'T KNOW! How scary is that?

It's basically video chat with strangers. Not such a good idea...

5 Kik

Many ignorant teens put their Kik account name on their Instagram bio. This would make them vulnerable to complete strangers and online predators.

There are a lot of pedophiles on this website. That's why I deleted my account.

I think it's safe if you give your Kik to just a small group of friends.

6 Tinder

This app is of the devil. You can pretend to be anyone and cause only horny people enter there you can guess what things could happen to you..Lord knows I warned you.

This, and other apps like Bumble are the reason people are so LAZY. No one wants to get up and make real connections with people. this is a great place for catfishers because its easy to lie when you go behind that keyboard...

Absolutely disgusting app! Lots of marriages have been damaged and or destroyed by this garbage. Lives are ruined by it as well

7 Avakin Life

This game is a haven for pedophiles. Kids are sexed up with provocative clothes and suggestive dances, and exposed to players of all ages, In a dating site format where kids get to present themselves as single, married, divorced, in a relationship, etc., and indicate what gender they are looking for, just like any regular dating site. A 13 year old can easily befriend a 40 or 50 year old, invite them to his or her house, get into bed or into a hot tub, and have a conversation in a private chat, with only a censorship program to protect them, which the kids can easily trick. In fact, for them it is a fun challenge to bypass the censorship and be able to curse and talk about sex. Most contests on Avakin are held via Instagram, so kids have an incentive to get an Instagram account, through which they can share photos and all kinds of information. Already a 13 year old girl was targeted by a pedophile through Avakin life. But instead of protecting the children, the game developers have chosen to make the game more attractive for kids by adding interactive amusement park games, and even a child like animation so pedophiles can make their avatar more innocent looking. Adult players have continuously written to the developer to keep the game 17+ but apparently he money is too good to care about children's safety. Do not let your kids play this game.

8 Whisper

You're basically giving your secrets out to strangers, thinking that it's safe. However, the app lets you talk to people near you, making you lose anonymity.

a secret telling app?! Come back when you get new ideas.

1 Anyone smarter than a ROCK knows that once it's online it's no longer a secret.

2 So many posts about self harm anorexia and more

3 Whisper tracks your location so you see secrets from people near you.

Still sounds like a secret?

9 Tumblr Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking website founded by David Karp in 2007, and owned by Oath Inc.

I personally really like Tumblr because I only follow blogs that I know are safe. Most of the site is REALLY bad though. Lots of arguments and the userbase has a really aggressive mindset.

Welcome to Tumblr! This is the perfect ticket to the dark web. Countless disturbing images. on more than one occasion I have seen thinspo and pics of anorexic girls. toxic posts about starving to be thin, even "hungry to bed, hungry to rise, makes a girl a smaller SIZE?!"

It's dangerous because of the adventure time "fandom" on it! Please avoid that trash!

10 Yik Yak

If you have never been to a gossipy college you have no idea how bad it is. This app is used for bullying those who are different or who rubbed the wrong way with some people. They banned names so users make codes, but it is still obvious who they are talking about. Sometimes users write distinguishing features about the target, and it sows hate towards certain groups of people. Horrible.

You can anonymously chat with people within 500 meters. This has caused whole schools to face rampant online bullying.

Sounds like an alternative way of spelling Tik Tok.

The Contenders
11 Meet Me

Don't know what this is. But it doesn't sound good

12 TikTok TikTok, known in China as Douyin, is a short-form video hosting service owned by Chinese company ByteDance. It hosts a variety of short-form user videos, from genres like pranks, stunts, tricks, jokes, dance, and entertainment with durations from 15 seconds to ten minutes.

This app is so stupid. It banned my main account permanently 'cause of "multiple policy violations," which is why I'm not surprised that the app is still banning people permanently for no reason.

This app has become so dangerous that parents are urged to keep their children away from it. With all the dangerous features people are at risk, especially children and teens. It's more for grown ups and people have been in danger from this app.

It sucks so bad. The app is so toxic and the people on it are so suggestive in their attire and dances. It is just bad, don't go on it.

Also China owns it, and there's no safety settings.

13 Oovoo

OoVoo is safe because you can chat with who you choose and generally your friends are people you know.

14 Instagram

A friend of mine made an account once on the page not the app, but then found out that it knew her location! Every time you log in, it tracks that location.

And we checked the privacy settings on instagram, they have share or not share your location but not a don't track me, and her location settings on her device (tablet) wasn't even on! I think it's creepy even if the page only sees this.

And here's another thing:
You need to make an account to even SEE any posts! Yes, you NEED to have an account. And the page wants your email or phone number plus your real first AND last name!

One more fact:
If you search instagram hack or a similar search, instead of seeing stuff about preventing hackings on instagram, you see stuff about how to HACK INSTAGRAM!

So, I recommend you to NOT use instagram, and don't let your children use it. I recommend for your kids, messenger kids on facebook.

And also this page, you don't need an account AND you can see stuff.

15 Roblox Roblox Corporation is an American video game developer based in San Mateo, California. Founded in 2004 by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel, the company is the developer of Roblox, which was released in 2006. As of June 30, 2021, Roblox Corporation employed 1,234 people.

It had been getting worse after Erik Cassel passed away from cancer, I have to betray the community Itself because of Hackers, Online Daters, Admin Abusers, and Exploiters.

I hate roblox this game should be banned online daters, kidnappers come on this game I would like roblox If it didn't have a chatting log or chatting section or anything with chatting I would love it.

Well, to be fair to Roblox, it is at the very least taking steps to stop this stuff. But considering it's the internet, it's no surprise that you're going to come across some douchebags every now and again.

16 Twitter X (formerly known as Twitter) is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages, also known as "tweets", restricted to 280 characters.

This asked for my phone verification code, last winter when I was 17 and wasn't allowed to own a phone just yet. But since I have one now, I think I might go back.

This App has been a trap to so many people I'm surprised its still up.

Political lies and general talk show like mudslinging and fake news.

17 musical.ly

Musically is a dangerous app. It may seem fun and fine but it will get your kids to commit suicide. The comments on musically cause all that

Anyone can get your videos and post them anywhere. It's not safe. Even be careful of this site, there's thousands of people using it

Filled with little kids... retarded

18 Vine
19 4Chan 4chan is an anonymous English-language imageboard website. Launched by Christopher "moot" Poole in October 2003, the site hosts boards dedicated to a wide variety of topics, from anime and manga to video games, cooking, weapons, television, music, literature, history, fitness, politics, and sports, among others. Registration is not available and users typically post anonymously. As of 2022, 4chan... read more

I voted to comment, not to vote. 4chan is not dangerous at all, unless you give out vital information, but it tells you not to, and the danger will be in the form of harassment, if the people even bother to do so, that is

4Chan is really different. There's nobody you will ever know and if you're offended easily, don't get on there. There are ties of serial killers and other people. So if you're young, don't go on this site!

4Chan is something else. Though I have to admit, I can't help but respect their dedication to finding out who did it when someone truly posts something horrible, like child porn or animal abuse.

20 Talking Angela

That isn't a social media app, but I heard there is a pedophile in her eyes. And some children got kidnapped. So don't download it. I deleted it right away. And the taking care of her app.

This app its pretty weird. It ask you a lot of questions and just boring. I don't know what's so dangerous about this app?

It's not a social media app but the rumor was never real?! Because of you guys they removed chat?!

21 YouTube YouTube is a global video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California, United States. The service was created by three former PayPal employees on February 14, 2005. In November 2006, it was acquired by Google for US$1.65 billion. YouTube is ranked as one of the most visited websites, securing the 2nd place, only surpassed by Google Search. As of 2024, the CEO of YouTube is Neal Mohan... read more

YouTube has problems such as in the comment section, where people post almost anything there, leading to cyber bullies posting mean comments to others & even causing fights. Yet other problems are especially the new changes like removing the classic studio, editor & direct messaging, limiting video time to 12 hours, unverifying people & downgrading the Terms of Service along with targeting videos either to kids or adults in the new COPPA change have put YouTube in a serious decline. Yet if you make a mistake with the COPPA law you pay a whopping $42,530 fine. That's WAY more than most people have in a lifetime. Just one mistake ruins your whole life. YouTube was a mess before & it's seriously gotten worse.

Too many ads. Also YouTube Movies has movies that are free with ads. But those movies don't actually have ads! But Shh, don't tell them or they'll put you at a run for your money!

22 WhatsApp

Do not download it its really inappropiate. This random person that I don't even know who he is sending me a nude pics of him by the beginning of a dial number +91.It's A MASSIVE HAZARD. Don't do it.

23 Periscope

There was a video on the news of a woman who went to the club with her friends on Periscope. Eventually, she started drunk driving, and people viewing it called 911. Thankfully, nobody was hurt

24 Discord

It pretends to be a gaming chat site, but all you need to do is dig a little deeper. Soon you will find adult only chats, but there is no verification to make sure kids, tweens, and teens don't get there. Bots ruin the experience by filling your feed with nonsense.

Discord is an amazing text and talk site that you can block and friend people completely safe most gamers use it as well!

Most of the community is unfriendly and even the name of this website speaks for itself.

25 IFunny iFunny is a Russian humor-based website and mobile application developed by Cyprus-based FunCorp that consists of memes in the form of images, videos, and animated GIFs submitted by its users. The mobile version of the site once featured a built-in meme creator tool. The app describes itself as a "community for meme lovers and viral memes around the internet."

This app is rated 17yrs+ for good reasons. Your kid has a brain let them use it to determine what is right and what is wrong. Ever heard of trends? Because the other comments about this app obviously haven't. It's a great app and often brightens my day so if your kid is "too young" then don't let them on the app. But personally this is a great hilarious app. There is no "ban raids" the only people that are banned are people that post spam or abusive comments. They only get banned if the iFunny team sees that it is fit. There is some bullying on the app but again if you don't like what people are saying it's easy enough to close the app or delete it. Your kid should be smart enough to know when enough is enough and to shut the app. Great app 10/10

This app is pretty much the most hateful and ignorant around. They crap on bronies, furries, the FNAF fandom, the Undertale fandom, anime fans, feminists, the LGBTQ+ community (as if we don't go through enough already), and more. They describe everything they don't like with a deadly disease (cancer), they do the same thing with autism. And neither of those are are funny, if you ask me. The homophobia and racism on this app are unreal. I don't recommend this app at all.
