the existence of helicopter parents who use shit like this makes me vomit

Holy shit. How glad am I that no one restricted me in such way in childhood. Parents of that child are horrible (imho)

Why would people willingly install potential Russian spyware?

Edit: I think some people misunderstood. I wasn't talking about the parental surveillance, I was talking about potential use of the antivirus by the FSB for even more nefarious purposes. Although I do think helicopter parents are weird and cringe.

People will use all kinds of spyware as long as it lets them spy on their kids

People are fucking weird — cameras in bedrooms and across the house for kids/teenagers that aren’t babies, using tracking apps like Life360 to watch every minute of their teenager’s life, as if they weren’t unsurveilled teens doing their own mischevious shit, tapping into their search history, looking through their private conversations with friends, and probably a million more things.

Being a kid under a helicopter parent in this technological era must fucking suck.
