They literally make tools to spy on people without their knowledge. How is there any situation where that is ok outside of law enforcement? Parents monitoring their kids don't need to be secret about it.
(And to be honest even that sounds super creepy. I thank god my parents didn't know my complete internet history and track my every movement 24/7. I can only imagine the helicopter parenting horrors that modern technology is enabling.)
Hell this software goes well beyond that. It records every text, every phone call, every keypress, hijacks the webcam and microphone to secretly record them, etc.
It's extremely common for domestic abusers to use this. I'm having trouble finding it, but I recall in article on HN that domestic abuse shelters are requiring victims to turn off their phones because it's become a problem.
