How to Educate Your Kids about the Growing Alt-Right Movement on the Internet

/

The internet is a place where everyone is allowed to share their idea relatively openly and freely compared to real life. This means that sometimes some controversial ideas and thoughts will also be shared. Over the past few years on the internet the seed of a universally disliked ideal is beginning to grow and spread its roots everywhere. Whether in the form of harmless jokes or violent political affairs no one can deny the fact that Nazism is on the rise. The world has seen the absolute dread, fear and hatred that the Nazi Party brought to the world. It had to take the combined forces of the world to bring them down and show the world their true colors. Now that same ideology is being fed to your children though the internet and you do not even know about it. It has crawled its way up in discussions on the many forums on the internet, on social media websites and apps and even YouTube. Your children are consuming this media on a daily basis and without you knowing it are becoming indoctrinated into an ideology that has led to millions of deaths. A Growing Real Life Threat Every Parent Should Worry About You might have heard of the atrocious Charlottesville incident where people were killed by white supremacists, Neo-Nazis and far-right groups. These were the real life consequences of the online breeding of the Nazi far-right movement. You might be thinking right now-’Well I did not know it started out on the internet’. Well you see the entire far-right movement has arguably taken it’s rebirth on social media sites and apps and your child might as well be a part of it. Neo-Nazis have become an increasing threat to deal with. The group continues to spread hate speech and other violent agendas, while they cannot do so freely in real-life, the internet allows for them to quite openly. How can you be sure though? If the movement has gone on undetected on the internet for so long who is to say that your child is not one of the many members of the horrible movement? No one of course wants or believes their child to be at fault ever, but if you are willing to take a more active part in your child’s life you must always gather all the facts and truths about their lives and then confront them with it if you discover anything disturbing. XNSPY is a great way to monitor your child and observe their behavior over the internet. This parental control app allows parents to monitor parts of their children’s to them that are otherwise hidden. This allows for parents to intercept any problematic behavior and actions. Children and teenagers will not reveal their private lives to their parents and will of course will try even harder to hide their involvement in movements like Nazism from their parents. So parents need to take special measures in order to ensure. Spread on Social Media and other platforms You would have ever expected to see Nazism re-appear nearly a generation later on forums on the internet. The online forum known as 4chan has been more or less the center of this movement. The forum has made the news several times and still continues to do so to this day. This forum/ board began as a harmless place to discuss anime, TV shows, music and even share memes. But over time it evolved into a place where the only rules as that there were no rules and anything was allowed. Pedophilia and pictures of underage girls were allowed on the site until 2007. The portion of the site responsible for the spread of far-right Nazi ideologies however, is the /pol/ section. This section is a cesspool of racist, disgusting, xenophobic ideologies all coming together in one place to discuss and spread ideas. It is truly one of the most hateful places on the internet. Other places that have consistently made news for Nazi ideologies being spread is YouTube. PewDiePie, the most subscribed to channel on the website was brought under fire when he made some un-sensitive jokes about Nazism and Jews. PewDiePie was only making jokes however. Nazi ideology and imagery flows freely on the site still. Just think of how many hours your child spends a day on YouTube watching seemingly harmless content. YouTube is itself quite slow to ban such outlets. After international public outcry, the site finally banned a Neo-Nazi channel for hate speech. Imagine if not for the public speaking up, this channel would have gone on unnoticed. So you see just how important it is to look after your kids and look at what they are watching. The content they consume on the internet has become a daily part of their lives and thus it has become even more important for you as a parent to look at what your child is doing. If you think about it- a large portion of their lives remains hidden from you and it would continue to be this way if not for parental control apps like XNSPY. XNSPY allows you to monitor calls, texts, internet browsing history, activity on apps like Facebook and many more. The app gives you a unique look into your child’s life and allows you to intercept threat before they actually become threats. Your child or teenager may become very politically active or even aware at some point and it is a crucial time for you as a parent to monitor whether the ideology they support is harmful or not and then talk to them about it. If you feel as if though they are hiding something from you- then you already know the means necessary to know what they are hiding. (Xanax) But if you feel as if they are being honest and following an ideology that is not damaging to themselves and society in general then support them in any way you can.

After the Blue Whale, Another Life-Threatening ‘Challenge’ Takes Over the Internet

/

It is honestly a miracle how so many teens continue to indulge in ridiculous and frankly stupid ‘challenges’ on the internet. These ‘challenges’ are designed by trolls to intentionally hurt people yet so many still continue to fall for them. All of us were were witness to the idiotic and life-threatening tide pod challenge a few months ago and before that the blue whale challenge– both of these took lives of many. And now just like before another life threatening challenge emerges. It did not however, start recently. It first took birth around 2013 when Vine was getting popular but the trend died and was forgotten by many. But it did not die, instead it was dormant and has re-emerged now. So What is the Condom Challenge? You would not believe me if I told you. Teenagers have a surprising ability to surprise adults with either their bravery and courage or their stupidity. The condom challenge basically entails one to inhale a condom through a nostril and then through their nose canal pull it out of their mouth. That is it. I do not think I need to tell you of the dangers of this alone but let me just put it out there for anyone reading. Asphyxiation, poisoning, infection, lung collapse the list goes on. It is obviously very, very dangerous to attempt this foolish challenge, is it not? Teenagers will do it despite the fact. It is reckless and careless, but that is just what teenagers are. Should Parents be Afraid of this Challenge? Yes, very much so. Although the Condom Challenge ot Condom Snorting Challenge is relatively unpopular at the moment, it may soon gain massive popularity as time goes on. This is a pattern that was observed with many other online challenges. Just when you think you have reached the limit of stupidity and recklessness on the internet- something like this pops up. Parents should really drill the concept of common sense into their kids and how they should avoid things that might put their life in danger. I know you are probably thinking that that sounds ridiculous but then again we had so many deaths with the tide pod challenge and other various challenges on the internet- that you begin to think if we really are lacking in it. Maybe parents feel as if though they do not need to since it is so obvious to them. But what those parents fail to realise is that their children might not think along those lines. They might not even know, I mean how they would if you, their parent, have not told them. The reason these challenges catch on is the nature of challenges itself. It is enticing to think that you can overcome it and then pass it on to others. It was the same with previous ones. You want to prove to your peers that you can overcome this seemingly dangerous thing and then show it off. That is a important aspect of these challenges- the bragging rights. Teens will often film themselves attempting these challenges and then if they succeed they will post to social media. They will get a few likes, a few comments praising them and that is that. But then some other individual wanting the same attention and also wanting to overcome this challenge will attempt it. This individual may not be as lucky as the previous one, they might hurt themselves or potentially even kill themselves. What Can Parents Do To Stop This? Well the number one thing parents can do is keep a stricter eye on their internet usage. Most, if not all of these life-threatening challenges start and get spread on the internet. Parents can use this to their advantage and use parental monitoring apps like XNSPY to monitor their internet usage. XNSPY might be the only parental monitoring app that allows you to monitor almost every messaging app. Parents will also need to monitor online internet browsing history or general activity. Thankfully, XNSPY has that covered as well so you can rest easy. The internet is tough to regulate maybe even impossible honestly. Thus it falls on parents to keep a better eye on what their kids are doing- if they are participating is ridiculous challenges or not. Even if not, parents need keep an eye on their children’s internet usage as it is. The internet is a big scary place but it can made less scary if you keep track of it. Why Do Dangerous Challenges Like These Keep Popping Up? There are multiple reasons. One like I mentioned before, is the very nature of challenges. People want to overcome these odd challenges then boast about it to their peers. Just that feeling of accomplishment is what drives many. There is also that feeling of being part of something bigger. Most of these challenges appear worldwide and it seems like everyone is talking about it or taking part in it. Social media posts, news articles, videos appear everywhere about it and suddenly you want a part of it. Just that feeling of inclusion and being part of something that is big is pretty exciting especially for young people. They are trends. Just like anything else. They will pop up, millions of people will take part in them and when everyone has had enough they will move onto the newest most exciting thing. Everyone is guilty of it. But these online challenges take this up a notch because there are so many trends sometimes going on at the same time and there are so many people taking part in them. Unfortunately, dangerous trends like these will continue to pop up and continue to prey on the gullible. It is your job as a parent to stop them from taking advantage of your kids. To do that you will need to take the help of every tool at your disposal and whatever means necessary to ensure the safety of your child.

‘March for Our Lives’ Proves that Children are Taking Safety in their Own Hands

/

At XNSPY, we are concerned with the safety of children and how parents are able to have a better grip of safety over their children. As a parent, you can only do so much to have some sort of sense of surety, you can have curfews, tell them to come back home at a certain time, drop them off to places yourself and see them leave with your own eyes. But that’s all you can do. When they’re on their own, they are independent and have to make decisions on their own. You leave it up to them. You can trust them to know better if you’ve taught and raised t The tragedy that occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida saw one of the worst mass shootings in recent history with 17 were left dead an 17 more wounded. Over two dozen school shootings in 2018, the kids had had enough. The March for Our Lives Movement has shown us that our children are more than capable of taking care of themselves and  as it is the children who lead the pro-gun control rallies across the US in one of the largest expressions of opposition in the modern age. The impact of the student led opposition was so massive that demonstrations took in 800 locations all over the world. Led by the survivors of the Parkland Shootings, the March for Our Lives protests included young diverse victims of gun violence from all around the country in an attempt to push for gun reform. They sang, chanted and challenged their parent’s generation for an effective way to remove violence from their societies and schools once and for all. Speakers included a diverse crowd including siblings and friends of those who had been lost to gun violence. “I’m here to speak for those youth who fear they may be shot while going to the gas station, the movies, and the bus stop, to church or even to and from school. I’m here to speak for those Chicago youth who feel their voices have been silenced for far too long.” Trevon Bosely said. Martin Luther King’s granddaughter, Yolanda Renee Kind told the crowd:” I have a dream that enough is enough. And that this should be a gun-free world, period.” Shortly before the event ended, Emma Gonzalez, a survivor of the Parkland shooting took to stage for six minutes and twenty seconds. She was silent for much of the duration. She then broke her silence and said that her silence was the same amount of time the shooter took to kill 17 people at her school and to silently merge into the crowd. Victims of previous shootings were highlighted too as thousands of students marching the streets of the entire nation overwhelmed Mark Barden, father of seven year old Daniel who lost his life in the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012 was left overwhelmed. “To me, it looks like our entire nation is finally on board.” Barden spent 5 years legislating for stricter gun control with the support of the Obama administration. That faded away and he was left legislating for it on his own. Children and Their Safety For children in the US, it had become increasingly dangerous to go to school just to receive an education for fear of gun violence. Not just in schools but out in the streets, at a gas station, in an alley by their favorite movie theatre,  young people are threatened by gun violence at an alarming rate and as much as parents can do to make sure their children safe when they can’t be there physically there, there comes a time when they are risk. And if they see an increasing amount of it, they will speak up about it. The bravery of the children involved in the March is astounding as they continue to fight for stricter gun control, ensuring no one else goes through the same loss and tragedy that they did. For them to collect themselves so fast to rally the entire country together under one umbrella is also commendable.  Something we adults haven’t been able to do, our kids did for us and they did it for everyone. Children of this generation are often wrote off as being not interested in the current issues and too indulged in their devices to do anything about themselves. Just earlier this year young people were being written off for the ‘Tide Pod’ challenge, (yes that was this year!) and yes, how stupid that may have been, teens and young people are not people who are unaware. They have proved that through the bravery of trying to change the country for a better after suffering for far too long. The leaders of the very movement and the ones who started it are children, the victims of the Parkland shooting and along with other young victims of gun violence over the years. The start of 2018 was a very turbulent time as over 15 school shootings took place where an active firearm was discharged. We here at XNSPY rarely indulge in political content or commentary. This issue however directly correlates with our values and what parents would actually want to read and would want to know. Parents, be proud of your child for taking part in the dialogue and encourage them to take actions that would effectively keep them safe and you at ease. For it is the safety of your child that is all of our main concern. The march lives on as activists are pushing every member of Congress to attend a Town Hall for Our Lives, which is a conjunction of the March for Our Lives and Town Hall Project which works to pressure members of the Congress to hold regular Town Halls in their districts. The main focus of the events will on gun control and gun violence. If you haven’t already taken part in raising a voice, you’ll still get an opportunity!

YouTuber Logan Paul Faces Controversy after Graphic Video

/

Vine star turned YouTube vlogger Logan Paul faced criticism this past week from fellow YouTubers, his audience and the media after uploading a vlog of his trip to the infamous Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The forest has become a famous spot for suicides and is commonly referred to as the ‘Suicide Forest’ by many. The 22 year old vlogger claimed in the video that he was camping in the forest for the ‘haunted’ aspect of it. The video starts off with Paul looking distraught and saying “This is not clickbait, this is the most real vlog I’ve ever posted to this channel,”   He continued by saying. “I think this definitely marks a moment in YouTube history because I’m pretty sure this has never hopefully happened to anyone on YouTube ever. Now with that said: buckle the f*ck up, because you’re never gonna see a video again.” The video shows Paul and his friends exploring the forest and looking for a place to camp when they find a body of a man who by the looks of it had hanged himself very recently. Paul records the body of the man blurring out only the face and showing the rest of the body and zooming into it to the point where the man’s wallet and belongings can be seen clearly. Paul received criticism for ‘lack of respect’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘appalling’ behavior. Paul and his friends then talk about suicide and mental health and say how ‘suicide is not a joke’. One of Paul’s friends is heard saying how he ‘doesn’t feel good’ and Paul responds and asks, “What, you never stand next to a dead guy?” He then laughs out loud. Anyone in their right mind could see that Paul was being extremely disrespectful and did not asses the weight of the situation. Fellow YouTubers are appalled by Logan Paul’s behavior and have called YouTube out on his behavior. Many were shocked when Paul’s video was featured on the ‘Trending’ tab of YouTube before it was removed. YouTube has a strict policy about uploading gore and disturbing videos and was under fire for not enforcing these rules on Paul- and only doing so when there was an outrage. The video had already received millions of views and 550,000 ‘likes’ after which the video was age-gated and then finally removed. Why this is a Pertinent Issue for All Teenagers Paul’s audience mainly consists of teenage girls. His primary audience has always been of young girls and this demographic is the one that usually watch most of his videos and his other content. So for a young teenage girl to watch a video like this would be very traumatizing and disturbing. Parents should be well aware of what their kids are watching especially on YouTube. Logan Paul and his brother Jake Paul are no strangers to controversy and have recently come under fire once again from fellow YouTubers Ethan and Hila Klein of h3h3productions for their ‘predatory’ ways of selling their merchandise. The Paul brothers released a myriad of songs around Christmas in which they urged their audience to purchase their merchandise in not so subtle ways. Considering their audience is mostly young teenage girls, these predatory ways of coercing them of buying their merchandise is extremely troublesome especially for parents who are on a budget. Parents often are not mindful of what their kids are watching or doing in their online lives. YouTube’s CEO said in 2015 that 50% of its traffic comes from mobile devices like smartphones. Since most parents let their children have smartphones at a very young age, they also need to be mindful and monitor their usage through apps like XNSPY. Logan Paul Responds to the Controversy Paul remained silent on the issue while he faced backlash from the internet and beyond but released a statement on the issue https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/948026294066864128 He apologized for his actions and said he wants to leave a ‘positive ripple on the internet’ and it was not his intention to garner such negativity. Paul demonetized the video and claimed that ‘he did not do it for the views’. This would be in stark contrast with his actions. Paul used an image of him standing close to the body for the thumbnail of the video- which disgusted many. YouTube released a statement on the issue through YouTuber Phillip DeFranco:” “Our hearts go out to the family of the person featured in the video. YouTube prohibits violent or gory content posted in a shocking, sensational, or disrespectful manner. If a video is graphic, it can only remain on the site when supported by appropriate educational or documentary information and in some cases it will be age-gated. We partner with safety groups such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to provide educational resources that are incorporated in our YouTube Safety Center” Criticism from Outside YouTube Logan Paul received criticism from outside of YouTube as well. Aaron Paul- famous for his role as Jesse Pinkman in the hit TV series Breaking Bad took to Twitter to voice his criticism for Logan Paul’s actions. He wrote: “Dear @LoganPaul, How dare you! You disgust me. I can’t believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell. Ap” Sophie Turner who plays Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones also voiced her concern on the matter. On Twitter, she wrote: “@LoganPaul You’re an idiot. You’re not raising awareness. You’re mocking. I can’t believe how self-praising your “apology” is. You don’t deserve the success (views) you have. I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did.” The 22 year old YouTuber has over 15 million subscribers and has been featured in Hollywood movies as well. Parents need to remain vigilant of their children’s online interactions and what they watch. (Lorazepam) Even harmless channels like many claim

Man Killed in ‘Call of Duty’ Incident—A Wake Up Call for Parents

/

‘Call of Duty’ and other violent online video games have always been in the spotlight for their controversy. They have always garnered attention for the hatred, bullying, trolling and sometimes violence that they might cause. Whether the games themselves are to blame is still up for debate but it does not change the fact that these games have been at the center for this violence and hatred for a long time and this needs to be addressed. These games have spawned violence and violent behavior in the past and still continue to do so to this day. It is worthy to note however, that these events and incidents are almost always a result of the online interaction that occur in these games- so these games themselves should not have 100% of the blame here. Whatever the case or the cause may be, it does not make a difference to the family and friends of a Wichita, Kansas resident, Andrew Finch. However, Finch had nothing to do with the incident- in fact he was not involved in any way at all. ‘Call of Duty’ Dispute Leaves One Dead The dispute began between two players in an online ‘Call of Duty’ match. The dispute was over a $1.50 wager between the two players. One would imagine that these two players were on opposing teams or sides but in fact both were on the same team. The wager was set for a match the two team-mates would play against another rival team. The two individuals lost the match resulting in some heated arguments and enmity between the two. As a result of the argument, one of the individuals had a third person call the police in an act known as ‘swatting’ within the Call of Duty community. But the address that had been given out was a fake one and was just to serve as a threat to the other individual. This address was close to one of the individuals involved in the argument. Police arrived on scene of the house with false information. “It was a shooting call involving hostages,” Police Chief Troy Livingston said. “The original call, we were told someone had an argument with their mother and dad was accidentally shot. And now that person was holding mother, brother and sister hostage. We learned through that call that a father was deceased, and had been shot in the head. That was the information we were working off of.” This call was made to the police by the third party that had been involved in order to call the police on one of the two individuals involved in the argument. When police arrived at the residency of Andrew Finch, they say that that Finch opened the front door after which a police officer shot him. The police officer who fired his weapon was a 7 year veteran of the police force. It is still not known why the police officer fired his weapon as Finch was apparently unarmed. The police officer who fired his weapon has been placed on paid administrative leave. The individual responsible for making the call says he is not the responsible for the death of Andrew Finch. The suspect has been identified as Tyler Raj Bariss who went by ‘SWAutTistic’ online. Bariss is notorious for making such fake calls and even called a fake bomb threat on an ABC studio in Glendale, CA. Why Parents Should Care This incident should open a lot of parent’s eyes. ‘Call of Duty’ and other popular online competitive games are mainly popular among children and teenagers. Though the games may seem innocent and harmless- the online gaming community is infamous for being a toxic cesspool of hatred, bullying and general negativity. This of course is not true with the community for all video games but is a common and unfortunate similarity among many of them. A child interacts with these communities every day or hours at a time and who knows what kind of bullying and abuse they are going through. Online videogame communities have become the hotbed of cyber-bullying cases and every day we hear of more and more cases coming through where children are suffering at the hands of it. It has really become an epidemic with cases coming in almost every day. In the unfortunate case of Andrew Finch, all parties involved were adults. Imagine having your home being swarmed by police because your child had an argument with someone over a ‘Call of Duty’ match. And many kids and even adults are quick to anger in these videogame matches and we have seen the results of this anger in this tragic case. XNSPY Can Help Parents But fortunately for parents, this epidemic, just like every other has an antidote. XNSPY is the mobile phone app every parent needs installed on their phones. XNSPY allows parents to read incoming and outgoing messages on some of the most popular messaging apps today like WhatsApp, Kik, tinder, Facebook Messenger and many more. It allows you to track and listen in on phone calls and even check call records. Most, if not all online games have online functionality through smartphones these days. So unbeknownst to many parents, it has actually become much easier to keep track of their child’s online interactions. So if you fear that your child is involved in some trouble as a result of a XNSPY can help look into what might be bothering their child by allowing them to read their text messages on every popular messaging app in the market. Parents can rest assured that there are tools out here such as XNSPY that can help them to deal with the problems in their child’s lives. Incidents like the one of Andrew Finch can easily be avoided with children if their parents can step in and nip the problem in the bud. This, of course can only happen when parents know something is wrong- and that can only happen if they have the information. And that can

Moscow Teenager Kills Teacher then Posts Selfie Online

/

WARNING: Graphic content In a parent’s worst nightmare 18 year old Andrey Emelyannikov, as part of the infamous ‘Blue Whale Challenge’ killed his teacher, posted images on Russian social media and then later killed himself with an electrical saw by slicing his neck with it. The teacher Sergei Danilov, 44 and father of three children was completely unaware of Emelyannikov’s plan. Danilov taught health and safety at Western Complex of Continuous Education, Moscow. He was a former army officer and was well loved at the institute by students and faculty alike, and was known as a strict but kind teacher who children respected. It is still unsure if there was any animosity between Danilov and the attacker but Emelyannikov’s actions were motivated by the online suicide game that has been the cause of countless deaths and suicides in Russia ever since it first made its appearance: The Blue Whale Challenge. You might have read about this horrific online challenge before as it has been the cause of some bizarre suicides over the past few years but this murder suicide has been at the center of so much attention because of just how brutal and bloody the entire thing was but moreover it has garnered so much attention because there were so many tell tale signs that Emelyannikov was about to do something drastic but there was no one supervising him or looking at what he was doing-especially what he was doing online. Could this have been Prevented? Every expert who has reviewed this case has said more or less the same thing: this could have been easily stopped. Users on the forum Emelyannikov visited said that “A couple of months ago he complained about his health and safety teacher, even saying that he would kill him sooner or later. But it is a common thing on our forum,” he said. “Our guys often throw out threats to kill somebody, so we don’t pay any attention.” He also started using the hashtag  #11117, signaling the date he would take his teachers life and his own too: 1st November 2017. While authorities have not yet still established a clear link, it is more than obvious that Emelyannikov did this to ‘win’ the Blue Whale Challenge.  The Blue Whale Challenge is a game that involves two participants: one of which gives 50 challenges to the other. These challenges include cutting one’s arm and other self-harm related actions. This all culminates with the last challenge: suicide. Emelyannikov posted to several social media outlets of his plan but none of them were known by his parents. The Blue Whale challenge, while tragic and horrific- is not hard to catch. It is mostly done through online communication which XNSPY can more than easily monitor. XNSPY and its features become necessary especially in places like Russia where the Blue Whale Challenge has already claimed so many lives and still continues to do so. Parents should without a question have XNSPY installed on their child’s phones so that they can monitor their messages and track their location to keep them safe. The Blue Whale Challenge has players go out into secluded places and look at explicit content online. As a parent, you can use XNSPY and set trigger words that your kids might use to alert you to danger. You can then catch trouble before it happens and protect your kids from harm. The Aftermath of the Murder-Suicide Emelyannikov planned his murder-suicide long before he actually committed it. As mentioned before, Emelyannikov posted the hashtag #11117 on the forum he regularly visited and made mentions of killing his teacher many times as well. Emelyannikov was known to have been influenced by Walter Sullivan,a character from the Silent Hills game. In the game, Sullivan is an insane religious fanatic, and Emelyannikov was was heavily influenced by the character and even cited him as his idol.  Emelyannikov even used the character’s picture as his profile picture on the forum. Emelyannikov attacked and murdered Sergei Danilov during a class break. He apparently approached the teacher from behind and stabbed him in the neck, causing the teacher to die. He then took several pictures and selfies and posted them to social media. He even posted a song called ‘November Rain’ to his social media profile. After he took pictures and posted them online, Emelyannikov used the circular saw to kill himself. According to student reports Emelyannikov has somewhat of a feud with Sergei Danilov and the latter was preparing to expel the student. Emelyannikov was known to be an ordinary man with a good sense of humor. He was even translating an English comic book into Russian. His mother said that he was very interested in computer games and spent many hours a day playing them. What Parents can do to Prevent this Parent need to keep a strict check on their children. Too many parents let their kids walk over them and then take a back seat in monitoring them. Cases like this horrific murder-suicide can happen when parents do not keep a strict eye on their children.  Every parent seems to think their child can do no wrong and see them as angels. Though this might be the case, you still need to keep an eye on what they do, should they try something that is harmful to them. XNSPY is your best friend in keeping a watchful eye on your children. XNSPY is really one of the best tools a parent can use to keep their child safe and keep them in check. It allows a user to monitor incoming and outgoing messages, pictures, emails, and even map locations. Parents can set trigger words such as ‘suicide’ or ‘drugs’  or whatever word to alert parents on what might be happening. These essential tools have been vital for Russian parents and authorities to combat the growing wave of suicide groups and games.  Children have been saved from suicide because their parents have kept a close watch on them simply

iPhone X Is the Most Different iPhone Ever Made, Here’s Why

/

There is no doubt that in the history of iPhones, the iPhone X is a huge milestone. Sure it has the Apple logo on the back and the homescreen looks like an iPhone homescreen, but for the past 3-4 generations, none of the iPhones felt “new”. It all felt like each succeeding iPhone after the iPhone 6 was the same thing repackaged and bought. The iPhone X breaks away from all of this. For once in a long time, the iPhone feels all new again with it’s shiny new hardware, it’s bezel-less screen, the vertical camera and the notch on the front. And it just doesn’t look new, it also works new too. There is a sort of a learning curve here and even if you’re a life -long iPhone user, you’re going to have to adapt into this new skin. iPhone X Notch Probably the biggest change in the iPhone to come this year is that notch in the front of the display. There are two types of people and their reactions when it comes to the notch. One says that the notch is ugly and that it shouldn’t have ever been there. The other says that, after some days of use, they barely even noticed it. Apple’s approach to these responses are in pure stubborn Apple form: “embrace it”. In the new generation of phones coming out this year, bezels have become a thing of the past. The Samsung phones have the smallest bezels this year but they still make room on the forehead on the phone for the camera and all the sensors that go along with it. The Essential phone cuts out all bezels even from the forehead and some phones even put the sensors on the chin of the iPhone. Apple’s way around this was to make a notch to include all the sensors and front camera and the FaceID sensors that are so different about this new generation. Some apps that come with the iPhone X are optimized to the display. Developers will have to make huge changes to their apps to suit the iPhone x since not only do they have to cater to the notch and make use of it somehow, the iPhone X has a taller aspect ratio. You will see with some apps such as Twitter, how they make use of the notch and wrap around it whereas with Spotify, the app hasn’t updated to cater the new iPhone, so it has a smaller, “square” aspect ratio. Another detail of the notch is watching videos on Youtube or any media source. Youtube videos will fit the entire screen even accommodating the notch, but now it will just look like a piece of the video is missing. And it is. Apple’s solution to it is to double tap the screen to make it smaller again; “square”. Does this defeat the purpose of the bezel-less screen? Yes. Does this defeat the purpose of the notch? Not quite, since the notch is to cater to the Face ID sensors and what not, but it is still an inconvenience for the screen. iPhone X Screen The iPhone X’s screen also is the most different screen that’s come to an iPhone. The iPhone X now sports what Apple is now calling a “Super Retina Display” which really is a fancy name for an OLED display. It’s a pretty good panel. 5.8” panel, high pixel density, it supports HDR, true tone and all that jazz. It doesn’t get as bright or saturated as Samsung display, which isn’t a bad thing at all. The screen is where the learning curve gets a little steep. The new bezel-less screen didn’t come without sacrifices. The home button on the iPhone is no more and has been replaces by gestures.  Rest in Piece iPhone home button. (www.biolighttechnologies.com) You were a good friend. Although the home button, something so iconic about the phone is gone, it isn’t all that hard to get used to the home ‘bar’ (which is on-screen) and the gestures. Sure, another learning curve but these buttons are really intuitive. iPhone X Face-ID The sacrifice of the home button was not in vain, as means of security and clearance have been replaced by the Face- ID. Face ID is…pretty good most of the time BUT, not as close to perfect as the fingerprint reader was. If TouchID was 99% accurate, FaceID is 95% accurate. But obviously over time with software updates and once millions of people get the phone, it will get better. One thing you might have noticed while using TouchID is that it had some minor limitations such as when your hands were wet or had dirt on them or if you were wearing gloves, you’d need a passcode. There will be the same type of limitations with the iPhone X. How FaceID works by using an infrared sensor, not the front camera. It maps thousands of tiny dots on your face to create a sort of ‘digital mask’ of your face. So no, it can’t be fooled by a picture of you since it also checks for depth. It also accounts for changes on your face, say with a beard or make-up, it’ll recognize it’s you. The caveat is using it outside, and that too in few and far between occasions. Infrared red coming from the sun outside might interfere with the phone’s own Infrared blaster. And wearing sunglasses might also be sort of a caveat, since the infrared rays might not get through the glasses. There’s even some settings called Attention lock where it won’t just unlock if you’re holding your phone upto your face, say to check notifications. You have to be looking directly at your phone. Just as a little tease to anyone who doesn’t have an iPhone X, an feature called “Anemoji” is included in the iPhone X where it tracks your face and records emojis according to your expressions and you can send it to everyone. Here’s the thing

Understanding the Difference Between iCloud Spy With Jailbreak and Without Jailbreak

/

iPhone monitoring is not without its many reservations. When you download an app that claims to be free, you realize that so many of its basic functions don’t even work. When you pay for a seemingly good software that has multiple features, you realize that you’ll have to Jailbreak your iPhone. That may work in certain situations and might be suitable for some people. But for others, Jailbreak is no beuno. So for those people who are worried that they’ll never find something suitable, we present to you the iCloud spy that comes with XNSPY. It’s got two versions at that: a Jailbreak version and a NoJailbreak version. You can pick whichever one you’re more comfortable with. The XNSPY iCloud Monitoring Features The NoJailbreak version essentially uses iCloud monitoring to avoid the need for a Jailbreak. The way it works is that you get the iCloud backup to start working on your target device when you are installing the app. This connects your target iPhone to an online Control Panel. From here, you can conduct your monitoring activities. iCloud monitoring has quite a few versatile features to aid in all your monitoring needs. This includes: Call log monitoring. You can check a log of all calls received, made and missed along with their time and date stamps. Text message monitoring. You can read all sent as well and received messages along with their timestamp. WhatsApp chats monitoring. You can once again read all sent and received WhatsApp messages and even see all Photos being exchanged on this platform. Viber monitoring. You can monitor calls, messages as well as photos using the No Jailbreak version. Skype monitoring. Like Viber, you can monitor all messages, calls and photos being exchanged. Line Messenger monitoring. You can read all sent and received messages on the Line app. Kik Messenger monitoring. You can monitor all chats on this app. iMessage monitoring. You can read all the chats made through this app. Contact List. You can view all the contacts saved on the target phone. Calendar activities. You can view any alarms, saved events, appointments or other such activities marked on the target phone’s calendar. Installed Apps. You can view a list of all the apps installed onto the target iPhone or iPad. Photos and Videos. You can view the gallery contained all photos and videos saved on the app. Internet activities. You can view browsing history of the target user as well as view their saved bookmarks. Location tracking. You can view a log of all their visited locations. Control Panel. Your phone will be linked onto an online control panel from where you can send remote commands to your target device. What is more, on top of all these features, the app will work silently in the background of your target phone so it remains completely undetectable. Neither can it be uninstalled by the target user unless they perform a factory reset their entire device. Why Some People Won’t Jailbreak Even with all the features listed above (and this is quite an impressive list we might add) there are still a few additional features that can be found on the regular version of the XNSPY iPhone monitoring. However, to get those features, you iPhone has to be Jailbroken, which we established before is a no no for some people. Why exactly don’t people want to jailbreak their devices? Performing a jailbreak voids the phone’s warranty because it modifies the phone’s software. It may also make your iPhone more vulnerable to third party attacks like viruses. When you remove Apple’s build in system, you lose any security walls they have built that detect malicious apps and files. So we suppose we understand why some people are wary of the Jailbreak. Is the Monitoring Experience the Same? If you are willing to give up a couple of features in place of a Jailbreak, this iCloud spy is absolutely for you. Essentially, you are getting the same service and therefore the same monitoring experience. You’re giving up a few tools (such as Gmail monitoring) but if you think you’d rather have a fully functional monitoring software without the Jailbreak, go for XNSPY NoJailbreak. It is super awesome and won’t put a dent in your iPhone’s software.

5 Tips that Will Help You Use XNSPY iCloud Monitoring to Its Full Potential

/

We’ve all heard about the XNSPY parental control that does a great job at keeping parents informed ion their kids whereabouts and online activities. But most parents don’t use the application to its full potential. Which is a shame because the app has so much to offer that other parental controls don’t. This is why we thought we’d give you a few tips on using XNSPY iCloud monitoring to its full potential so that you can take your parenting to the next level. 1.   Keeping it Discreet The first thing you’ve got to do with XNSPY is to keep things discreet. If your kids are aware of the fact that they have parental controls installed on their smartphones, they are likely to retaliate. You may have to go through tantrums, confrontations, and then silent protestations. They’d try to get rid of the application or find a way to block it (wiping the phone’s memory, rebooting to factory settings). This is why upon installation, XNSPY gives you the option to go in invisible mode on your child’s phone. This means that the kids won’t ever find out that it’s there and you can carry out your parental duties as per usual. 2.   Using the Watchlist Here’s another great feature from XNSPY that is vastly underused—the Watchlist. What the Watchlist does is mark some ‘trigger’ activities. This means you’re essentially Blacklisting certain… Contacts Email addresses Phone numbers Words …so that anytime they are used, you receive an instant alert about this. The ‘blacklisted’ item can be anything that you find dangerous, inappropriate, mischievous, or simply something you need to keep an eye on. It could be words such as “smoke”, or “pot” or “beer”. Or it could be your kid’s friend Joe that you think is a bad influence. 3.   The Screenshot Hack While it is true that XNSPY has a number of great features, some of which tend to monitor certain apps, there are still certain areas it leaves uncovered. To be fair, there are tons of applications out there, and it is difficult to find a way to monitor them all. But here is something you can use as a way to hack your XNSPY parental control—the screenshot feature. What it does is take live screenshots of your child’s phone and upload them onto the online control panel. So you don’t miss out ever. 4.   Geo-fencing the Right Way Geo-fencing is a way to mark certain locations as safe and certain locations as unsafe. By creating fences around areas, you track your child so that you are informed of where they go and receive alerts in case they cross dangerous areas. You can create fences around school to find out if your child is skipping classes (you’ll receive an alert telling you your child has left the campus premises). All in all, it is a wonderful way to know of child’s whereabouts in a responsible manner.
