Technology

Exactly.

As a concerned and very involved parent, I do not want this nonsense tracking my child, because I value my child's privacy. I also don't provide them a phone, because they haven't demonstrated to me that they'll use it responsibly (oldest is 10). If I let my kids have a device, it's because I trust them with it, and I let them use my desktop and laptop w/o supervision and w/o any tracking to do things like play games and do homework, but they only get access when I say they can. When they earn my trust, I'll let them have their own device with their own passwords that I don't know.

But I don't think I'm the target audience here. My kids aren't poor and we have a pretty good relationship. I tell them consistently if they don't feel comfortable talking to me about something, who they can talk to (teachers, school counselors, ecclesiastical leaders, certain neighbors, etc). I wish all kids had parents who had the time and inclination to care for their emotional needs, but that's not the world we live in. That said, we do exist, so whatever policies exist need to cater to privacy-minded families who properly take care of their kids.

I don't know the solution here, but I will oppose any hidden surveillance I hear about.
