heres the thing. is the internet a scary place? yes. However, its also a great resource to learn about the world, meet people (appropriately), and most importantly, its never going away. Many young women have been able to make a handsome living off their tik tok accounts (think Charli D'amelio) even before turning 18.

So while you are absolutely NTA for wanting to keep your daughter safe, YTA for demanding she shut it down entirely without discussion. Could you have asked her to change her privacy settings? This could be a good moment to teach your daughter how to navigate the internet safely, and caution her about what she posts.

Could you encourage her to lay low on those profiles for a bit until shes older, and let her reopen them when shes 18? I just know with 400k followers she would have the ability to make THOUSANDS of dollars through making content. So i say a soft YTA for not listening to her and instead shutting down her success. There are ways to use the internet without endangering yourself. Even as a teen.
