Is Angry Birds 2 safe for my kids?

Parents should know that as users progress through this game, they will have the option to play in multiplayer games and join a clan of other players.

Kids chatting with strangers on any platform can be risky and expose them to online predators and this should be considered before parents allow their children to use this feature in the game.

That being said, users are able to mute users in chat as well as report them. The chat feature does not seem to feature any moderation though Angry Birds’ terms of service state that hate speech, racism and other discriminatory language, obscene or sexually explicit language, threats or harassment, bullying, swearing and cursing will not be tolerated.
