Facebook Should Halt Instagram Kids Plan, Attorneys General Say

I didnt know parents would see the conversations also - seems right down FB line.

So spying is okay when parents do it? It's interesting how we normalize this all.

I'd imagine most kids use their own creative stuff anyway to get around snoopy parents.

Parents can't see the conversations but can see the number of messages and calls per contact, as well as recently shared/received photos. It's a pretty good compromise IMHO.

I dont have kids. But this still sounds creepy.

Either they are to young that a smartphone or Facebook would actually benefit them, or they are to old to spy on them.
