Let me introduce you a bit about Facebook Messenger. It is an app letting you to message your Facebook
friends and other users in Facebook. Now you can even use it by registering with phone
number without having a Facebook account.
This app might be harmful to your children as child pornography purveyor could use
Messenger to lure children and teenagers to send their naked photos. The
child pornography purveyor would normally create a fake account pretending to be
a young charming man to search for children and teenagers. Then, they will involve the targeted children and teenagers in romantic online relationship in order
to persuade the children to upload their naked photos doing specific sexual acts.
