It is estimated that by 2030 the child-surveillance industry will grow to $500 billion. An industry that capitalizes on bogus fears and causes anxiety in parents and children ( for different reasons ). And an industry that is both directly and indirectly causing the privacy nightmare that we are experiencing. On many levels the industry itself is causing much more damage than good. Here is a short summary of the damages it is causing and how to deal with them.

    Saving a click: the industry is “child surveillance“.

    Yeah, it’s as creepy as it sounds.

      I’m not going against your point but telling an insane story. A friend of mine in California caught their nanny literally throwing and beating the crap out of their infant. When approach they ran back to their country. I’m sure there’s nothing they can do now. I would never even imagine this could happen!

        I think that’s Survivorship Bias, but I didn’t read too closely after the ‘litchally’.

          It’s on the news with hundreds of videos recorded

          Why would I make that up? This isn’t Reddit with karma

      It doesn’t. Self-hosted open source surveillance is still surveillance. Constantly monitoring your children (above a certain age) is still helicopter parenting.

        They’re months old, fuck off telling me that’s helicopter parenting. Don’t comment when you literally don’t know

          That’s obviously not what this article is about. Notice how I said “above a certain age”?

    If a slightly older person would migrate to GNU / Linux from a suggestion that it is more private. A young person, who underwent surveillance parenting, will most likely not give a damn.

    Off topic: the design of this site is very confusing. Each section with its heading and text body as a separate card, with the heading in the same color as links are. It makes it look like each card is a summary of a separate blog post or article. Also with the way the background image is static like that.

    Need to rethink that design from a reading perspective.
