Selling Children's Online Activity For Profit?
Apparently the company that makes software under the brands Sentry and FamilySafe, which are products that let parents spy on their children's online activities, is selling the information they collect to third party advertisers. That doesn't sound very ethical if you ask me.

The company that sells the software insists it is not putting kids' information at risk, since the program does not record children's names or addresses. But the software knows how old they are because parents customize its features to be more or less permissive, depending on age.
