Creepy, fraudulent, annoying: chain letters via WhatsApp & Co. can be very disturbing to children.
The chain letter quiz from Saferinternet.at helps you identify which messages you should delete immediately and which you can safely send on.
Even primary school children (primary school children) receive up to ten chain letters every week via WhatsApp & Co. , some of which they cannot correctly assess the contents of - so everything is forwarded as a “precautionary measure”.
Particularly scary messages or chain letters with death threats can scare younger children a lot - other messages trigger social pressure or are just plain annoying .
With the new chain letter quiz from Saferinternet.at, children aged 8 and over can practice in a playful way: Which chain letters can I forward? Which should I delete quickly?
