New concerns this afternoon about inappropriate behavior on social apps including those intended to be used by children. The Washington Post took a look at user reviews in apples app store and found more than 1500 complaints of unsolicited sexual approaches received on social networking or random chat apps. Reed is a Technology Reporter with the Washington Post and the one who sifted through all of those reviews and made the troubling discovery. Thank you for being here. First off how did you identify these reports of unwanted sexual contact . We picked six apps that are popular with teenagers. They allow teenagers to connect with strangers online, sometimes through chat roulette apps where you are combined with someone randomly. We pulled all of the reviews from the app store and into a database. Then we used Machine Learning which is like Artificial Intelligence to sift through about 130,000 of them to find these reports of unwanted sexual approaches and then we manually verified them once we had come up with an we looked at each one to make sure the software had done its job. Little bit more about some of the complaints that you found. Some idtified themselves as minors, some dont. But they talk about logging onto the apps and then being confronted with sexual behavior, sometimes an adult man who decides to perform a sexual act in front of the person. Sometimes it is them trying to solicit nude photographs. It even gets worse from there to human trafficking. It is not an issue of the apps themselves but the users behavior once again on the app. Absolutely. The apps themselves are just opening up a line of key medication between two people. But what happens is the predators know that kids use these apps so they flock to these apps. Some of these companies that run them, sometimes you do not even know where they are located. They are set up through Shell Companies overseas. So they are not equipped with the resources to do the moderation to get this behavior off of the app. I know you did speak with some users. What did they tell you about their experience . I know you touched base on what your overall reviews found but what did individual people tell you about what they experience . Mother who discovered that her daughter was using one of these apps and she found hundreds of messages. Her daughter was underage about 14 years old at the time she used it. She was receiving all of these messages from adult men showing body parts to her and asking her to send nude photos. I talked to another young woman now 18 but had used this when she was very young and she said the sexual content was a near constant on this app. If you are on it you see it. The reviews we did find are probably just the tip of the iceberg. What is the there is a question here of whether or not apple which says in its marketing on its website that the app store is a safe place for kids and that it cleans the app store of content that is not appropriate for kids. Another safe way for me is if you are a parent and your kid is on a smart phone, it is very dangerous to not monitor that. I know there is a question of privacy here but there is a lot of trouble that kids get onto. Which you highlighted in this report. It is something that all parents out there should take a look at. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us this afternoon. Thank you for having me. It was a beautiful sunny fall day across the bay area today.

I think that debate got buried underneath the hearings this week. For sure. There so much going on on the same day of the debate. Good to talk to both of you at the same time for a change. We brought together a focus group of undecided voters to watch that debate with us here. One of the interesting things was mayor Pete Buttigieg. A lot of them thought he was one of the winners of the debate and he talked about his experience as a man and compared that to being an africanamerican in this country and here is how they reacted.
