Concerns about connected technology and children's rights LINK

The Culture Media and Sports Committee launched a review in May last year about connective technology. That means smart speakers, virtual assistants, airtags, wearable fitness trackers, even cars and fridges. They can all be potentially connected to the internet providing the ability for third parties to collect our data. Concerning for FNF-BPM is that this technology can be easily used for remote stalking in abuse cases and for tracking our children’s location, choices and without their knowledge build an exploitable database of information about them long before they are 16.  

On a first read the report makes some useful recommendations about cross Party support and how to protect our right to privacy, but Todays Family Lawyer LINK concentrates more on the future for technology in family abuse. 

Please let us know about any abuse of technology in your Family Court Case.
