A new chatbot wants to monitor kids’ online activity, and educate them as well. Oyoty, targeted for children ages 12 and under, is a friendly bot that links itself to social media accounts and keeps watch of public postings. When Oyoty flags content for a particular issue—for example, a provocative selfie or sharing of personal data—it starts a two-way conversation with the child and explains why they should think twice before posting. To fulfill the aim of educating and empowering children when it comes to online safety, the act of editing or deleting the content is left to the child to execute. (TechCrunch)
