It used to be the case that all you needed to be a good parent was to know who your childs friends were, and maybe where they went after school. It was also relatively safe to alow then to experiment as part of the growing up process. With the internet and other easily accessable communication devices, however, it is not as easy for parents (or children for that matter) to determine who is and who is not safe to be in touch with. I am not saying that I would constantly look over what they do. However, if I saw any warning signs of something I believed to be dangerous, and they were less than upfront about my concerns, you better believe I would snoop. ]]>Oct 28th 2008 5:53PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 5:43PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 8:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/
Neither is it any different than parents of days past asking where their child was going to be, who they were going to be with - asking for phone numbers or if parents would be supervising parties, etc. If I asked to spend the night at a friend's house when I was growing up, my mother always spoke to that friend's parent before giving me permission.

And you know what? I never once thought felt that my privacy was being invaded or that I was being stifled. I really didn't even mind when she would occasionally "call to say good-night". I always felt protected & loved becaus honesty and communication were valued qualities in our home.

As for spouses using it - I would certainly hope mine trusted me enough not to waste his time installing something like this. But should he decide to do so, I have nothing to hide. That whole "trust" thing goes both ways - why would I care if he knew who I called? or texted? I'd probably end up telling him about it during dinner anyway - that's the "communication" part.

To determine whether or not this program is a good thing or a sneaky, evil tool, one would have to examine the user and in that case, an evil, sneaky person certainly doesn't need this particular tool to commit sneaky, evil deeds.

I guess if you've got something to hide, a tool like this could prove to be pretty scary.]]>Oct 28th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 7:45PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 7:46PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 28th 2008 7:50PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/http://www.switched.com/2008/10/27/cell-phone-snooping-software-lets-you-violate-peoples-privacy/Oct 29th 2008 8:19PM
