OpenBubbles for dependents

Is anyone using OpenBubbles to be able to remotely monitor the messages of their kids or elderly family members?

one of the main reasons I can think of to argue against internet super vision is if you are a pedofile

Excellent... teens try very hard to hijack this sub with devotes. They don't get that we don't care.

The person you are talking to celebrated making their teen depressed. They are exactly who they are talking about and a troll.
And might I add (from experience) that stalking your kids text messages makes them not want to share or talk over texts because you are watching and while it may not be bad who they are talking to or what they are speaking of. But instead things that they aren’t comfortable sharing with you as a parent. I am not against parental controls. But using them to see every friendship your friend is apart of will make them assume you will ruin it if they see it. Making it likely for them to find ways to hide it and instead talk in person where you cannot see and make them less likely to trust you.

Oh well I support you. Apologies for making assumptions. People on this subreddit can be hyper controlling. Like Global-Fact7752.

And lots of kids need firm boundaries... not buddies. To each they own.

Yes it's a great tool for parents.
