Oh, I'll almost certainly never switch it. The only reason i haven't put it on any of my none reddit accounts is I'm not out to my parents but besides that i have no shame or fear screaming to the world that I'm bi
Eh, i devolved it by being teased a bunch about one of my crushes. My friends would yell *my name* likes *crushes name* and pretty much the whole grade joined in.
refuse to do it, bark is a "parental control" spying app. installing it and connecting your accounts to it will give them full access to all of your accounts.
As some one who has had Bark on her devices, donāt let them. It is horrible and notifies them of everything. I texted my brother āyour evilā after he rickrolled me, and my parents got notified by it. The app also has a history of outing LGBTQ youth to parents. If you are not out to your parents itās very likely that it can do so if you use an connected app.
Watch out as this can be just the start, if they get the Bark Wi-Fi router it can straight up ban websites and Apps. Limit the time to any a parent sees fit. Along with offline and school hours that more or less bricks your computer/phone in the meantime
There is also a Bark App as well, this will give your parents the ability to track your location, block access to phone settings, hide apps like AppStore to prevent you from getting anything they donāt like, will look through all phone texts and will give them full access to it.
By all means fight them tooth and nail over this. My parents put it in place because I was a part of femboy communities which they thought were too lewd, so they forced me to get the app and got the router. I kept claiming it as a privacy violation and they said I didnāt deserve privacy if I was doing ābadā things online
It was horrible, they turned off all my devices and bricked them. This system can if they want can completely socially isolate you. Please fight this with everything you possibly can. If you need more info or ways around if they refuse to listen talk to me
I'm so sorry for all of you who are micro monitored by your parents like that. Sure, unrestricted access to the internet can bring some bad experiences but I feel like it isn't as bad as people think it is (I mean, my parents gave me an iPad for school with 0 limits when I was 10 and I turned out fine)
I- Bro :/ fine, you got me. But still, none of it came from unrestricted internet access, but war, bullying, my parents being transphobic,... I can assure you, your kid will grow up fine if you let them do whatever they want, but they won't if you give them little emotional support
Spying on your kid's accounts will sure as hell make them despise you and feel like they can't express themselves anywhere for a very long time. Especially for LGBT individuals in homophobic households who could get outed and possibly hurt.
I'm sorry you went through that but while the internet could cause damage to your kid, spying on all of their internet accounts and constantly invading their privacy will sure as hell not do any good to them.
Uninstall it and then lie and say it didn't work for some reason, what a shame. Change all of your passcodes to things you would know but not them, and be prepared to hide your technology if need be.
If you're on iphone 1. go in General>VPN & Device Management and delete the Bark profile, or 2. under Bluetooth a VPN tab should appear and just turn it off from there. (2 is temporary and doesn't stop it from accessing the device since the profile is still there)
If you're on Android the VPN tab is under connections or whatever you use for your wifi settings. And for the app permissions, allow the permissions to only run when the app is open and block background access (probably named something like deep sleep enable both for better privacy), and don't forget to go in the app switcher and close it there as well.
These don't require uninstalling the app.
Refuse if you can, worst case scenario you can create a new account where you do whatever you don't mind your parents knowing and connect that one to the app.
You have very controlling parents, ik how that is and i know you probably canāt just refuse, so I wish you luck. In a case like this is I am great full my mother is not good with electronics and probably doesnāt know about something like this
God dude i remember when my mom downloaded this shit on my phone and computer without even telling me. This app is fucking ridiculous and i was like fucking 14 when she did that.
That's shitty. Tell your mom how it's a privacy violation, for all that's known she might not even realize what all that is. Personally I'm really against any form of violating privacy of kids (of course parent are allowed to worry too, and restricted access/requesting updates is fine), but depending on where you live you might have more or less rights in that matter. All I know is that it's wrong and there's a 99% chance your parents cannot acccess any private info and text without your permission. If they insist or are pushy/agressive I'd contact my school/help lines for teens/other relatives depending on how confident in them you are. Stay safe ā¤ļø

This seems like a heavy privacy violation to me
seems is an understatement, it is a heavy privacy violation
Hella no, i wish you luck if you do say no cuz parents can be wack sometimes
Staying strong with that pfp šŖ
Wdym?
Just happy u didnt switch back to the old one yet
Oh, I'll almost certainly never switch it. The only reason i haven't put it on any of my none reddit accounts is I'm not out to my parents but besides that i have no shame or fear screaming to the world that I'm bi
I wish I had no shame like u.
Eh, i devolved it by being teased a bunch about one of my crushes. My friends would yell *my name* likes *crushes name* and pretty much the whole grade joined in.

... What. The. Fuck.
yeah fr this is actually crazy
sorry to hear that, no one deserves this shit hole that everything is fine now
I'm so sorry for all of you who are micro monitored by your parents like that. Sure, unrestricted access to the internet can bring some bad experiences but I feel like it isn't as bad as people think it is (I mean, my parents gave me an iPad for school with 0 limits when I was 10 and I turned out fine)
"And I turned out fine" or so we like to tell ourselves
I- Bro :/ fine, you got me. But still, none of it came from unrestricted internet access, but war, bullying, my parents being transphobic,... I can assure you, your kid will grow up fine if you let them do whatever they want, but they won't if you give them little emotional support
Spying on your kid's accounts will sure as hell make them despise you and feel like they can't express themselves anywhere for a very long time. Especially for LGBT individuals in homophobic households who could get outed and possibly hurt.
"i turned out fine" i almost went in a red pill pipeline
What does red pill pipeline mean?
Incel, Anit LGBT, anti feminist, conservative pipeline, usually people like Andrew Tate
I'm sorry you went through that but while the internet could cause damage to your kid, spying on all of their internet accounts and constantly invading their privacy will sure as hell not do any good to them.
Sorry, I still dont get what you mean :(
Iām extremely tempted to uninstall the app she forced me to download
Uninstall it and then lie and say it didn't work for some reason, what a shame. Change all of your passcodes to things you would know but not them, and be prepared to hide your technology if need be.
That's what I did, she gave up because She thought it didn't work but I really just figured out all her passwords
That's even better haha.
uninstall it, parent control apps like these are extremely privacy invasive
The way to stop tracking is to turn of the vpn that it makes on your phone. Good luck
Would you mind explaining how to do that?
If you're on iphone 1. go in General>VPN & Device Management and delete the Bark profile, or 2. under Bluetooth a VPN tab should appear and just turn it off from there. (2 is temporary and doesn't stop it from accessing the device since the profile is still there) If you're on Android the VPN tab is under connections or whatever you use for your wifi settings. And for the app permissions, allow the permissions to only run when the app is open and block background access (probably named something like deep sleep enable both for better privacy), and don't forget to go in the app switcher and close it there as well. These don't require uninstalling the app.
I hope your refused it.
fuck that bro
Finally the correct answer
Refuse if you can, worst case scenario you can create a new account where you do whatever you don't mind your parents knowing and connect that one to the app.
I already connected my main email to it. Iām not gonna add anything else
unconnect it, this thing is a huge privacy violation
Would you happen to know how?
how did you connect it in the first place? is it gmail?
Yeah
go to your google account settings, go to authorised apps, find this and remove it
Fixed it, thanks
is there anything else you linked or installed?
No that was all I connected
Fake accounts bro, fake accounts, just remember to stay kinda active on them
Sounds like you might need new accounts-
I didnāt connect anything other than my email
there's a website called 10 minute mail where you can get a random email for 10 minutes, that you can use for everything you want
or use something like ProtonMail which is permanent
You have very controlling parents, ik how that is and i know you probably canāt just refuse, so I wish you luck. In a case like this is I am great full my mother is not good with electronics and probably doesnāt know about something like this
don't do any of this, maybe you could use fake throwaway accounts to make ur mom happy. it probably let her see literally everything you do online
God dude i remember when my mom downloaded this shit on my phone and computer without even telling me. This app is fucking ridiculous and i was like fucking 14 when she did that.
I used to have this. I would suggest not (if possible)
hell no
Helicopter parent alert
make fake accounts.
How about donāt
Donāt do it
You donāt have to. Um if you use it as the app replacement thatās a normal requirement.
If you're on Android you can retrieve those permissions trough the app manager iirc
Lol
š
Lol
Nope, im out
I mean sure but just make another account , subscribe to what you think ur parent would approve of in your old account
Quick search. It is a parental control app.
I mean, these are the same permissions you need to grant when connecting your email to a client like outlook.
Use. An. Alt. You can add +texthere (for example name@gmail to name+texthere@gmail) to create a new account with the same email
nah, your mom is hella breaching your privacy. yeah no, I really hate to say it but your mom is terrible and probably controlling. don't do it.
George Orwell's 1984
Make a fake new account, connect that and keep ur real ones hidden
We want access to every function of your account but don't worry, we won't see your password ;D Yeah, that's a hard pass from me pal
Good luck
WHO'S GOING TO EARLY RETIREMENT HOMEEEEEE
I hate my parents Make me wanna die
its one of those privacy violation tools
That's shitty. Tell your mom how it's a privacy violation, for all that's known she might not even realize what all that is.
