Merseyside Policy have contacted Sefton Local Authority with a very important warning about the Live.ly mobile App.
It is the fastest growing social media streaming app available and has approximately 20 million users worldwide. It enables users to live stream videos of themselves and watch videos from other users.
It has limited security features, making it possible for users to potentially identify where a video is being streamed from or has been recorded. Any video can be recorded or shared without permission or knowledge of the person who made it.
Merseyside Police are keen for parents to make sure they know the apps their children are using, how those apps work and how they are being used. Parents need to be aware of the warning signs of exploitation so you can prevent your child from putting themselves at risk or forming inappropriate relationships.
