Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

Which begs the question is this legislation in good faith or a Trojan horse.




We use Life360.

Few years back my preteen daughter had some creep ask her for pictures of her feet. Mrs Jarnhammer caught it on some monitoring program we had installed. Her panicked response was to physiclaly rip the internet router out if the wall. I recall almost suggesting she could have just turned the router off instead, but kept that unhelpful advice to myself.

I've heard of 'life360' but have no personal experience with it. The only 'interaction' that I've had with it was my wife telling me that one of my daughters roommates and soccer teammates in PA has it on her phone and that the girl (19yrs old) is monitored CONSTANTLY by her mother. The mother tracks her daughters physical location 24/7 to the point that the Mother texts the daughter to ask stuff like, 'Why are you still in your dorm, shouldn't you be at soccer practice now?'......to which the daughter responded, 'Mom, its pouring rain out here, practice was called off.'

Now I know that things are different in the US due to the sheer volume of mass shootings, carjackings and other violent crimes (when compared statistically to us) and that sort of monitoring might be considered 'normal' in some locations in the US, but to me that's a bit over the top.

When my kids were younger had a device called - Circle - that we used to control/monitor their internet access. It's a great device and does a solid job on restricting access to sites/apps and for access to the internet. If her device(s) doesn't have a 'data package' but only wifi, this tool could be used to device usage and such.

It's simple to use/set up and a min. cost. I've included a link below.

Parental Wi-Fi Control Device & App for Families

The Circle Home Plus device for routers provides parental Wi-Fi control for all devices, plus you can manage mobile devices away from your home network.

I'm not really concerned with the content that she's consuming, it's more volume and time spent.

But I appreciate the link and will investigate!

You don't track your wifes location in real-time and text her to ask what's going on if she stops somewhere on the way to work? Do you even love her?

We used it mostly for the limiting of time spent each day on the internet and on certain games/app. Back then my son was a Minecraft nut ('To the mines with You!), and we could allocate a specific amount of time that he had access to it, down to which hour he could access it and for how long.
