Web-monitoring software gathers data on kid chats

["Ivan ." <ivanhec () gmail com>]

Parents who install a leading brand of software to monitor their kids'
online activities may be unwittingly allowing the company to read
their children's chat messages — and sell the marketing data gathered.

Software sold under the Sentry and FamilySafe brands can read private
chats conducted through Yahoo, MSN, AOL and other services, and send
back data on what kids are saying about such things as movies, music
or video games. The information is then offered to businesses seeking
ways to tailor their marketing messages to kids.
