Discord adds Family Center, giving parents overview of teen activity

Discord is launching a new tool to give parents more visibility into how their teens are using the platform. Family Center gives parents a weekly summary of their teen’s activity on the platform. However, it will not share the specifics of their conversations.

“Family Center provides parents with what they need to help guide their teen’s use of Discord without invading their privacy. It’s like the physical world where you know who your kids are hanging out with and where they’re going but not listening in on their conversations or micromanaging their relationships. Tools like Family Center can help parents help their teens develop the habits and critical thinking skills that apply not only to Discord but all of life,” said Larry Magid, CEO of ConnectSafely.
