Anonymous messaging apps can harm children. Here’s how feds and LA prosecutors stopped NGL

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has prohibited the anonymous messaging app NGL from hosting users under 18 due to serious allegations regarding its marketing practices and safety measures for minors. NGL, launched in 2021, was marketed as a “safe space for teens” but reportedly targeted minors, failed to protect them from cyberbullying, and made false claims about its AI content moderation. The app generated fake messages for publicity, misled users into subscribing to NGL Pro, and did not obtain verifiable parental consent for data collection from users under 13, violating COPPA. As a result, NGL has been ordered to pay a million-dollar settlement and must reform its practices, including eliminating misleading representations, ensuring informed consent for subscription charges, and implementing age verification measures.
