People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.
Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.
And the worst part ist that those parents had a childhood free of any intrusions of their own privacy. If they had been under surveillance in the same fashion they do it to their kids, one could argue that they don't know any better. In my opinion, marketing and fear mongering play an important role here.
I am so gratful that I (early millennial) have been born and raised at a time where this tracking and surveillance bullshit wasn't around at all. I estimate my parents would have had a blast when these things were readily availiable.
