Parents, have you heard about “Groypers”? A Concern Every Parents, Caregiver, and Educator Should Be Aware Of!

Parents and caregivers, have you heard of “Groypers”? This far-right online movement uses memes, humour, and irony to pull youth into exclusionary worldviews. They show up in comment sections, gaming chats, and private groups, where jokes become gateways to radical ideas. By spotting the signs like secrecy, hostile language, or new online influences, parents and caregivers can respond with curiosity, empathy, and clear boundaries before harm escalates.

Attention Parents and Caregivers:

Recently, Instagram has introduced “Teen Accounts”, a new initiative designed to “better “ (not fully), protect young users online. Anyone under 16 who signs up for Instagram is automatically placed into a teen account (one reason to ensure that your child signs up with their actual date of birth), and existing users are encouraged to switch.

Teens under 16 need a parent’s permission to make safety settings less strict. These protections have been designed to help reduce problematic content, and now Meta has expanded the functionality of Teen Accounts to their Facebook and Messenger platforms as well.
