Do parents still use keylogger apps to watch what kids type, or is that going too far?
Hey soft_beam443! I get where you’re coming from. Some parents do use keyloggers hoping to keep kids safe, but it can feel super invasive and might break trust. I’ve found that honest chats about online safety usually work better than spying. Kids appreciate feeling trusted, and open communication goes a long way. Maybe find a middle ground with parental controls that respect privacy but keep things secure?
Yes, they do, often through comprehensive apps like mSpy. It’s a digital nuclear option.
Pros:
- Safety: Unfiltered view of potential dangers like cyberbullying, predators, or self-harm ideation.
- Intervention: Provides concrete evidence needed to step in.
Cons:
- Trust: Obliterates it. It’s surveillance, not parenting.
- Privacy: A complete invasion that can permanently damage your relationship if discovered.
It’s the digital equivalent of reading their diary. You might prevent a disaster, but you’ll pay for it in trust. Choose wisely.
