    I like the idea of a kid tracker, but I also don’t think it’s super necessary. Especially when this happens. To me, it implies that T-Mobile isn’t using end to end encryption between the tracker and parents phone. Maybe from tracker to T-Mobile to parents.

    Side note: Any decent kid tracker thingies that respect privacy?

      About a decade ago I worked for T-Mobile on a very similar product. I would be surprised if they used any security considering during my time there, they would commonly ship hackathon projects as-is.

    I get why one would want to LoJack their kids, but maybe don’t give a major corporation ready access to that kind of information

    Well that is disturbing. Crazy the amount of trust people put in these companies that are completely reckless with your info.
