From the article: “Since there are unsolved cases of missing children and street shooting/harassment, we must monitor his/her exact location in order to keep them from these threats.”
The conclusion doesn’t follow from the premise. Monitoring somebody’s exact location does not shield them from ”going missing, street shooting/harassment”. At best it opens the chance to start a conversation about being in a certain location at a certain time. At worst it will show you where someone is while they’re being “shot/harassed”.
More importantly, this type of monitoring seems like a guaranteed way to destroy trust between parent and child, making impossible any theoretical conversations that could be had.
Once you remove the article’s thin justifications for this tech what’s left is, quite simply, spyware.
