Pinterest is a visual discovery and image-sharing platform where users collect and organise images, videos, and links onto themed 'boards'. It is widely used for fashion, home décor, recipes, DIY projects, and creative inspiration. Unlike most social platforms, Pinterest is largely interest-driven rather than socially driven — the focus is on content rather than followers — but that does not mean it is without risk for younger users.
Teenagers and older children use Pinterest primarily for inspiration — creating mood boards for aesthetics, fashion, bedroom décor, and creative projects. Many use it alongside social media as a planning or vision tool. Some teenagers use shared boards collaboratively with friends. The platform is also used for recipe and fitness content.
Profile Visibility
ตำแหน่ง: Settings → Privacy and Data → Profile Visibility
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Keep profile hidden from search engines
A public Pinterest profile can be indexed by Google. Encouraging your child to keep their profile hidden reduces the chance of their content being discoverable by strangers.
Secret Boards
ตำแหน่ง: When creating a board → Secret
ตั้งค่าเป็น: On for personal content
Secret boards are only visible to the creator (and invited collaborators). Encouraging use of secret boards for personal content reduces public exposure.
Personalised Ads
ตำแหน่ง: Settings → Privacy and Data → Personalised Ads
ตั้งค่าเป็น: Off
