Comment on Twitter Is Tracking Users’ Installed Apps for Ad Targetingparent

Comments

Question: what made you cooperate in building this for a client and how did you feel about this then vs. in retrospect?

The app I built actually says right in the description what it does: it is parental control software. I don't feel bad about developing it at all. Parents use it to track what their children do with their devices and have to explicitly opt-in to the tracking before it starts.

I see, that's quite a different scenario indeed. I think the fact that in this case it is not disclosed up front is where it stings.
