Sommige kinderen verkopen dingen en delen daarom hun telefoonnummer.

Op WhatsApp kun je niet reageren, maar dat omzeilen kinderen, bijvoorbeeld via cloudz.fun, waar mensen anoniem vragen kunnen stellen (en dus ook andere berichten insturen). De kinderen antwoorden in hun kanaal. Openbaar dus.

Zoals 'Wat is je telefoonnummer/snapchat?'

Sommige kanalen van kinderen hebben duizenden volgers. En heel gek is dat niet, want WhatsApp werft ze actief voor ze. Zo krijg je tussen de kanalen van grote sportclubs en media ook die van kinderen getipt.
