Pretty sure that beatings (and blackmail too) are already covered in the criminal statutes of every state. Requesting that a child, especially an adult child, install an app, is not, and should not be.
With all due respect, you've gone way, way out on a tangent that has nothing to do with the original statement or my initial reply.
Parenting is not all about money. Some parents have a very specific and tyrannical idea of how their kids 'should' turn out, and will not hesitate to spend money, beatings or literal blackmail to achieve it.
Think of a wealthy father that beats his daughter because her behaviour is 'improper', or forces daughter/son into marriage. Or of Eton College which is stupidly elite and expensive, yet famous for beatings. This stuff is common enough that I've witnessed some of it, and it's not pretty.
I am not claiming the proposal on offer here would be of any help, just trying to clarify the issue
