My family tried to make me install the Spy360 crap last year.
My GPS spoofer made them regret that đ. A few check ins all around the world later (and other chaos) and they basically asked me to uninstall it. Lmao.
It pays to be more tech literate than your parents.
Back on topic, I don't know very many people who have this thing who actually like it, so idk where the hell this article gets it's sources..
Please tell me you're educating your family in privacy issues. This tracking circumstance is an excellent opportunity to approach it with a education mindset instead of the stereotypical kids/parents conflict.
Check out www.theprivacydad.com it's a great starting point for parents who don't know tech enough to realize what's going on.
They don't care. We have ring doorbells and everything, no matter how many times I point to examples of these things being used for evil, they just brush it off.
They're the "I have nothing to hide" and "I don't care" type. And there's no convincing them.
I'll check out this link, though
EDIT: To clarify, I had resisted it and argued against it for a few months before it was actually installed. Using a Pinephone during that time stopped the stupidly invasive thing from working and I wasn't using my S10e as my main phone for that reason đ¤Ł
