      Kids are being conditioned to expect that their private affairs will be surveilled and held against them -- by universities, parents, future employers... everyone.

      It's insane and oppressive to rescind college admission on the basis of "offensive statements" teens made on social media. In order to gain admission to elite institutions, teens now have to be career-minded, perfect little angels beginning at childhood https://twitter.com/KyleKashuv/status/1140605133346283521 …

      Recently I heard some parents describe the lengths they go to monitor their teen's private communications, without the teen's knowledge. All texts, social media, etc. -- the parents had surreptitious access to. They even track the teen's precise locational movements. It's nuts

      The US has never been safer, but parents have seemingly never been more paranoid about surveilling every aspect of their kids' lives under the guise of "safety" -- when there's really no threat to speak of. The same invasive, privacy-destroying mindset afflicts elite institutions

          Indeed. @JonHaidt & @glukianoff The Coddling of the American Mind runs this down pretty well. Very appropriate in light of this Harvard nonsense.

          dude wait until you hear about what the government is doing with surveillance under the guise of citizens’ “safety”. seems like maybe more concerning than parents monitoring their underage kids.

          "The US has never been safer (!?!)." 2018 was the highest gun death year in 50 years, and gun deaths have risen every year for the last three. There were 15 school shootings in the first 5 months of 2019. But parents are "paranoid." Sure....

          That's why there are so many offended people now. Thankfully I am the oldest millennial (born in 83) so I barely missed the "helicopter parenting" craze.
