My teenage daughter has been spending a lot of time online recently, and I'm concerned about what she might be doing. Is it legal to track the online activity of a family member who is a minor?

In most jurisdictions, it is not legal to track the online activity of a family member who is a minor without their permission. There are some exceptions, such as when tracking is necessary to keep the minor safe from harm or when court ordered to do so. However, it is best to consult with an experienced attorney before attempting to track any minor's online activity.

In most states, it is not legal to track the online activity of a family member who is a minor without their consent. There are, however, some exceptions. If you are concerned about your daughter’s online activity and want to monitor it for safety reasons or to ensure she is using the Internet appropriately and responsibly, you could set up an agreement with her that you will review her browser history periodically. Alternatively, if you suspect that your daughter may be up to somethingunsafe or inappropriate online, you should speak with her honestly about your concerns and let her know that you plan on monitoring her activity.
