If we take the term child to mean “any human being under the age of 18” under the UNCRC, should there be some form of monitoring or access for parents to see what their children are doing in the technological world?
A bit old of a statistic but a good starting point for this debate is that in the UK is that 1/3rd of households in 2004 used some form of filtering or blocking software to restrict or monitor children's online activity.

Should parents have the right to monitor children's online communications whether this be via mobile or computers etc?
Do you think there is a specific age where it is okay and then an approximate age when it's time for parents to stop?
Are there certain platforms or situations that exists where it might be permissible/inadmissible?
Overall thoughts?
