Social media lets us connect with the world, but it comes with some risk. Someone could take over your account, or send you links to scams or risky sites. And unfortunately, children may be more susceptible to risks, like cyberbullying, dangerous TikTok challenges, and inappropriate content.
Social Media Monitoring¹ monitors your accounts on the most popular social media sites listed below and notifies you of suspicious activity, such as changes to your account settings and risky links. It can also monitor your children's accounts§ and notify you for any potential cyberbullying, dangerous TikTok challenges, explicit content, or hate speech.²

Account takeover protection: Your account is monitored for setting changes and suspicious posts to avoid account takeover.
Protection against scams or phishing: Your account is scanned for scam or malware links in your account feed, which can be used to steal or extort your data or money.³
Protection against inappropriate content: Your account feed, including your child's, is reviewed for posts or comments related to cyberbullying, hate speech, explicit materials, drugs, or violence.²
When you add a social media account for monitoring, Norton performs a historical review of your account for posts or comments that were made in the past year or up to 200 pieces of content, whichever has come first.
Even if you have a Google account, you need to create a YouTube channel to link that for Social Media Monitoring.
