066. Life360: Family Tracker or Digital Stalker?

In this episode we are teaming up with our favorite Cyber Security expert, James Walsh, for a crossover episode with Cyber Pulse where we discuss the pros and cons of family tracking apps like Life360. We talk about privacy issues, potential misuse by stalkers, effects on child development, the possible resulting trust issues with family and loved ones, and the effect on battery performance. Our goal is to give you the facts so you can decide if a family tracking app is right for you.


We cite a few articles during the chat, listed here in case you want to dive in:
