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.
That sounds unlikely and more paranoid than the parents who would install those apps… How many criminals are going to data brokers to track their child targets?
sometimes people call those as criminals who run a business in personal data. I can’t fault them for it

Not all those who handle data obey laws. Data leaks happen.
They’re already there… and they have no qualms to sell that data to whoever. The abortion cases as an example.
