@Scott Vancaster- doubtful, the app & websites will still use SSL encryption to transfer between the client and server. The messages just wont be stored in an encrypted form.

Disabling end to end encryption also exposes them to hacking attempts and doesn’t seem to add to their safety. There should be other ways that can require social media companies provide parental access which would be easier and safer.

@Eric
What app was that? None of the ones i’ve looked at for my son let me see what they talk about on apps. Text messages yes, but not the encrypted things on Instagram & snapchat.

While i think its a good idea, parents nees to be proactive when it comes to their safety instead of relying on big brother.

My oldest child is 26. When I got her a cell phone at 13, I installed an app that saved everything she did and seen on the phone, and I let her know what it was capable of. It saved her text messages, images she took, and every so many seconds, a screenshot of her phone. It was probably $10 a month and allowed me to remotely view everything it saved.

Before anyone says it, if you can’t afford $10 a month to protect your kids, then you can’t afford a cell phone for them.
