Video Apps and Kids: What You Need To Know
Musical.ly is like MTV meets Lip Sync Battle meets Instagram. It’s a new app that lets users – called “musers” in the community – record short video clips of themselves lip syncing or dancing to popular songs or movie scenes, then upload those clips to a feed similar to Instagram.
The app inspires fun and goofiness, which is why kids are loving it. However, the Shanghai-based company doesn’t target users under 13. In fact, it prohibits them.
