In the 80's/90's if I was somewhere I shouldn't be or doing something that I shouldn't there was a 70% chance that when I got home my mother would know. The neighbourhood network of eyes was more powerful than googles all seeing eyes.

are you under the impression that the same neighborhood network of eyes is in operation all over the place like it was then or?

Also - when my daughter hacks all of her ex-boyfriend's social media accounts, should I monitor her activities by going and talking to the snooping neighbors?

Ha, everyone here is forgetting that. And also, that all our personal documents were unencrypted :-) Parents could freely snoop if they wanted to.

Come to think of it, the padlocked diary and encouragement to write all ones secrets in it might have been a psyop.
