    uh, statistically there are less crazy mfs than there were 30 years ago. we just weren’t hyper connected. so yes, I would hope they’re putting a negative spin on it. Fuck sake, my sister wouldn’t let her 16 year old boys walk to the end of the cul-de-sac for fear of them being kidnapped. This shit is so god-damned stupid.

      My kid is 8. I like to let him roam free in the neighborhood, but I also want to be sure I can keep track of him, or locate him if he disappears. I don’t see how this is a bad thing.

      Just because your sister is hyper vigilant, doesn’t mean having the capacity to track your children is wrong. People have different lives and live in different places. Just because this tool has no value to you doesn’t mean it is wrong.
