Corrections Policy
KidTech Safety Report is committed to accuracy and transparency in all of our investigative and data-driven reporting. When we discover an error of fact or context in our published articles or research reports, we act quickly to correct it and disclose the change clearly to our readers. Minor typographical errors are corrected without a formal notice, but any substantive correction that alters the meaning, data, or interpretation of an article is logged here in our chronological Correction Log. We welcome feedback from readers, platform representatives, and software developers; if you believe we have made an error in our data collection, analysis, or characterization of a product, please contact our editorial team at corrections@kidtechsafetyreport.com with supporting evidence.
Correction Log
An earlier version of our Q2 2026 market analysis stated that Bark monitors and flags YouTube video content in real-time using on-device optical character recognition. In fact, Bark monitors search queries, metadata, and alerts generated by its API-based system, rather than conducting real-time OCR on active video playback. The text has been corrected to reflect that Bark's monitoring is metadata-driven. We regret the error.
In our March 2026 longitudinal YouTube safety study, a data entry error in Table 2 transposed the false positive rates for Net Nanny and Qustodio. The correct rates are 11% for Net Nanny and 22% for Qustodio, not vice versa. The table and associated discussion in Section 3 have been updated. This correction does not affect our overall finding regarding algorithmic filtering inaccuracies.
Our September 2025 news report on California's proposed parental control app standards incorrectly described the enforcement mechanism in Senate Bill 944. The bill proposes civil penalties enforced by the state Attorney General, rather than private rights of action for individual consumers. The article has been updated to clarify this regulatory path.
