Report Finds Parental Monitoring Software May Carry Privacy and Liability Risks

Parents who use anti-bullying and anti-sexting software to monitor their children's online activities may be giving up family privacy and increasing their personal liability, according to the group School Safety Partners. The group, which aims to help support best practices for online safety, says that parents may be unaware of the ways in which the Terms of Service of child monitoring software companies dictate how personal information that's monitored is used.
