Big tech already knows more about kids than parents do.(1) If they want to protect kids on their platforms we don't even need to talk about end-to-end encryption yet. What would help is big tech sharing daily summaries of child on-device activity with parents. There are lots of parental control apps that do this, and yet they have had to fight Apple for permission to operate.(2) Parents don't want their kids abused either. We can definitely find a win-win situation here if we work at it.

If you want to spy on your kids then install software and do it. I don't think normalizing corporations spying on kids is a great idea. Sure they do it, but normalizing it only makes it worse and more acceptable.

I thought that it was universally understood that spying on your kid's activity is bad parenting? Limiting what your child has access to in the first place, and setting time limits, is a good way to set barriers on viewing activity that you can break down over time as you continue to educate and talk to your child about the dangers of the real world accessible over the internet: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304 And Apple is continuing to introduce privacy-preserving (and safe-from-russian-companies) solutions to kids seeing inappropriate content https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-17-preview/#privacy-security:~:text=Privacy%20and%20Security https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-17-preview/#privacy-security:~...
