User reviews
Annoying to use and, complicated, and not worth your time. The sensitivity levels are crazy. Some have all or nothing, and some have all or severe. Not customizable enough. Would not recommend.

Seeing all of these infuriated kids ensures me that this is the right product to get. Listen kids, the world is full of pornography, demonic music, and socially engineered chaos. If your parents raised you right, then you would appreciate your parents efforts to keep you from harm. - A proud father of 5.

- The reviews on the site are fake. If you right click a profile picture and select "view in new tab", the image will unblur. Sometimes it will say "stock image" /in the URL/. And when it doesn't, you can right click again and reverse image search, which will lead you /to stock photo websites/. And if you copy + paste the reviews into Google and hit go, the reviews (which are mock FaceBook posts) won't show up, only /the bark website/. Because they aren't real posts. They don't exist on FB.
- This app warns parents about /everything/. My mom keeps telling me that I don't know how Bark works and that it doesn't tell her everything I do, but it flags me going to Deviant Art, talking about Lemon Demon, saying "oh my God"(---or OMG!), saying "never gonna give you up", using the word "hot" or talking about /anything/ LGBTQ+ related.
-I would like to stress /anything/ LGBTQ+ related is tagged as sexual. I had to stop watching family-friendly LGBTQ+ YouTubers who were my only source of comfort and support for my sexuality because of this extension.
- Parental controls only teach kids to not trust anyone and how to do things in secret.
- Kids have different views from their parents and that is okay. They shouldn't be punished for that.
