To me there is a big difference between parent's rights and the government's rights. In a lot of ways kids could get more freedom because their parents can verify that they are where they are supposed to be. However, I do appreciate the concern for conditioning children into surveillance. I hadn't considered things from that perspective.
- automatoney 4y agoHere's a thought experiment/rhetorical question - how much should kids (of various ages) have the freedom to do things their parents don't approve of? Taking into consideration the full range of parents (amazing to abusive) and full range of children (needing lots of vs little guidance). I think how one answers that question probably guides a lot of how one feels about this sort of tech.
- todd3834 4y agoHonestly… I just want to make sure my kid isn't getting forced into something that even they don't want to do. Or maybe they want to but they don't have the context to understand how much it will negatively effect their life from that point forward. Think like serious injury or death… I totally understand the push back against over protective parenting but the opposite side is pretty rough too. Also, every kid is different. You might have one kid that seems to be able to adapt and understand situations and another who is totally underdeveloped in that area. It's kind of complicated
