Links is a messaging and social event platform that lets users create, share, and discover local events with their network and friends-of-friends. Users can host paid events and monetize them. The app's core strength is turning group chats into coordinated meetups, but its friend-of-friend visibility model expands exposure beyond close circles.
If the app offers event visibility controls, check that events are shared only with close friends by default, not friends-of-friends. Verify that direct messaging is limited to mutual connections and that payment/monetization features require parental oversight for younger teens.
