Is it Legal to monitor children, employees, or spouses?
Children (Mostly Legal)
In most countries, it is legal for parents to monitor their children’s phones and computers since they are responsible for their children’s safety.
Employees
In the US, employers may generally monitor office computers and phones with a few restrictions. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that the laws of California require that all parties to any conversation are informed that they are being recorded or monitored.
Illegal Monitoring (Spouses, Friends)
In the US and many other countries, monitoring spouses without their permission is illegal. Moreover, the information obtained through illegal monitoring will not serve as evidence in a court of law. So, while knowledge typically is power, in this case, it can be a limited power.
