That depends upon how much they know about your monitoring of them, and how much you intervene. My kids computer was completely monitored, I was able to track the cell phone she carried, as well. To this day, she doesn't know that ever occurred, and that's going back ten years.
If kids are like pets, why not cage them and leash them, to keep them out of trouble?
Well, we do require that they live with an adult until a certain age. In many places there are curfews, and numerous other laws against them drinking, and other things that grown ups are allowed to do. So, as a parent, you need to consider them not as a pet, but as an adult in training. And, that training requires you as a parent to know what the fuck they're doing. I remember telling my kid that it wasn't my job as a parent to be her buddy, but that my goal was to raise a self-sufficient educated adult. And, for the record, it worked, but that's just my own anecdote.
If your employer isn't monitoring you in some way, it's probably because they're a small business that hasn't had an employee fuck up yet.
Teenagers, almost by definition, fuck up. As a parent, my take on it was that it was my responsibility to know what my kid was up to. With that knowledge, I also let her fuck up a lot. But it gave us knowledge about what we as parents needed to address. You're welcome to call it "distrust", I'll call it parenting.
Side note...I find it ironic coming to/. to see this argument, after seeing so many prior complaints from others who seem to think parents fail when they don't know what their kids are doing 24/7.
Why dont you make him pee in a cup and wear a bodycam while you are at it... P.S im a dad that had all the tools to track my teenager, but didnt because thats not the kind of human i want to raise. Liberty includes the room to fuck up. Think about this before becoming his personal Stasi.
Then it's pretty much guaranteed that yours are fucking up without your knowledge. There's no harm in monitoring those fuckups and letting them go. My own rule of thumb was that as long as it wasn't going to cause my kid permanent physical harm, or jail time, I probably wasn't going to intervene. It's unfortunate but true, that people, and especially kids, don't learn from the screw ups of others...they have to make their own mistakes.
My kid's a well adjusted adult now, and to this day, has no idea the level to which we monitored the cell phone, internet, and driving.
A simple example of one intervention we did here, and feel free to call us Stasi, but whatever. We noticed in our kids messaging that she (around age 15) was planning on leaving the house ~1am to meet up with neighbor kids.that we didn't know. While my wife was insistent that we break the silence on our monitoring, I took a different approach, turning on the house alarm system (we normally only use it when away on vacation), in front of my kid as we were heading up to bed. She knew immediately that her planned outing was ruined. Interestingly enough, the next time we checked her web history, we discovered her searches for how to disable the alarm system...A for effort.
But, look at the Risk/Reward. When the risk is minuscule, but the result of a single occurrence would be the destruction of the planet, then not making some logical mitigation plan is unacceptable.
Nah, it's the same old generation who loved and keeps loving such power. Destroyer of worlds and the like... (a little more literal now, it seems)
Is that the same old generation that brought the SALT treaties, and the end of the Cold War? The same one that brought https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I suspect you didn't really mean it that way. Competent people weren't always. People don't come out of the box competent. Now, if they've had sufficient time and training, and failed to become so, then fire their asses.
As for "Malicious people should get a entire firing squad.", I'd be happy to pull the trigger on these asshats.

Just be sure to use high fiber. It'll keep things regular.
Great idea, but not with that company.
Okay, since there appears to be goodwill going on here, I'm unblocking. Thank you.
If these marketing guys ever figure out a way for their commercial to climb out of your screen and dry hump you, we'll all be in trouble.
You didn't think Amazon was just going to have that drone drop off a package, did you???
Should we still buy CDs? Did music exist before we had to pay for it?
Industries change. Endorse change, adapt and win. That, or die away crying.
The only problem is that change isn't always for the better. I'm not against change, but I am for "if it's not broke, don't fix it".
Yes, it went "Woooooooosh"
From Wikipedia: some modern systems use shorter wavelengths (a few centimeters or less) that can image objects as small as a loaf of bread.
And no, they would not be "overwhelmed by positive signals" either.
Give it McAfee, he will screw up and erase all the data on the phone, problem solved.
Somehow I doubt they have only one copy of what's on the phone. Is there a way to image the encrypted data?

It's not against the law to track the location of a vehicle or phone that I own.

Monitoring doesn't make you a helicopter parent. Intervention does. Choosing when to let your kid fuck up and not to is key to this point.

Your mother probably wouldn't let him in that way.
Why do you want to change the way it's been?...you must be new here. Yup, you are...2814313
Byte me
where would I get the POOP?
In the POOP deck. You just apply a little Olive oil.
as a database engenner (yes I have a CS degree), who deals with huge databases with thousends
Well, that explains why we're getting the wOrNG aNSwErs from your DBs.
Basic commands don't take that kind of interpretation. And yes, there was voice recognition software for your PC back in the 80s.
Don't worry, it's a hospital for the 1%'ers. Eat the rich!
I've been on /. for quite a few years, and can't recall a more asinine comment than this. Congratulations jackass.
Incompetent people should get fired.
I suspect you didn't really mean it that way. Competent people weren't always. People don't come out of the box competent. Now, if they've had sufficient time and training, and failed to become so, then fire their asses.

I am also mail, I would also have to give up manspreading.
That would make us go postal!
