I want to point out that all I said was that knowing their online stuff was being logged could inhibit kids from searching out things to broaden their worldview. I remember losing hours down a black hole of Googling things. A lot of them were not things I would have addressed with parents/teachers/etc.

I have helped raise kids, though none of them were mine by birth. Limiting screen time? Yes. But we never key logged or logged where they were going. We gave them the usual warnings about not handing out personal information, please be careful about etc etc.

I was not trying to imply anyone was abusive. Just how privacy is important, etc, off what I had.

@silverfox Yes, the kid knowing it is happening only makes sure they won't poke into things they don't feel comfortable talking about. I can only imagine how many of my LGBTQ friends would have never found support groups, or felt able to come out, ask questions... if the parents had been watching logs of what they do on a computer.

Oddly, I can sort of see where the one person was going? If I was 15 and my parents were logging EVERYTHING as @buttercup says she does? I would feel like I couldn't explore the net and topics I might want to, out of fear of their reaction.

Of course, I was raised in an abusive household, too. Maybe most parents are more lax, but privacy as a teenager is pretty important.
