@izzie yeah, it's truly awful. People use the justification of keeping their children safe to indulge in the worst imaginable accesses of paranoia and control and it's just truly awful, parents regularly do things to children that we would abhor a government for doing to its citizens or corporation for doing to its workers. And it's not actually even necessary to actually keep children safe at all, so it demonstrates the fact that none of this really exists to perform that function, it exists purely to make that kind of paranoia and control possible. Also, as another commenter so eloquently said, the sort of parents that would actually use invasive parental controls are precisely the kind of parents that you don't want having access to that kind of power, because the sort of parent that is interested in those controls is precisely the sort of parent that is going to be psychologically abusing their kid with how controlling they are.
