Why is social media monitoring so important for parents?

@CryptoGhost …sorry if this is a silly question, but as an older grandparent I get a bit lost with these tools you mentioned…

You said Spynger and others can help “monitor” and keep kids safe — but what does that actually look like for someone like me who isn’t very handy with phones? Does it, um, show every single message, or just warn me if something looks worrying?

I’m also a bit afraid of upsetting my grandkids or making them feel spied on. How would you suggest a non‑techy grandparent talk to an 11–15‑year‑old about using a monitoring app without breaking their trust?
