sorry for asking a question about privacy in a privacy community. i can’t just not use it because my parents are forcing me to use it. if i was allowed to unplug it, i would.
Do it anyways. Everyone has a right of privacy no matter the age.
Ya there's no such thing as "being forced to use it". What are they going to do, lock you in your room with no food if you refuse? Just stand up for yourself and say you are not comfortable having it in your room and don't compromise on it.
You know, in an ideal world, that makes sense.
But this isn't an ideal world. That's the kind of advice that can get a kid literally beaten in a bad scenario. Parents usually hold all the power in a household, and it isn't the kind of power you can just shrug off.
Well some parents can lock you in a room with no food especially in developing countries
Developing countries probably don't have like 4 amazon echos in the house as an intercom system though, tbf.
You'd be surprised what stuff has a higher priority for purchase.
IMHO the only reason they don't is because they don't know how to use it or do not care...
My neighbor tied her children because she went out and "they fight a lot" she claimed to be outside for 20 or 30 mins but neighbors said it was like half day.
That's like 5 years in jail right there
