Our parents didn’t understand the places we went when we were teenagers. They didn’t even see the bars we were regulars at nor the people we frequented. Everything was dark and dangerous for them. Not for us. For us it was normal. And we thought that was because they didn’t know what they were talking about.
Maybe yes. Maybe if they had been able to talk to that handsome guy we had so much fun with, they would have seen that he was a good kid; or if they had accompanied us to that place, they would have understood why we liked it so much.
Today, those places we frequented and those children we were have become cyberspace and our children: for us it is also a dark and dangerous world. The easy solution is to prohibit, but what would have happened to us in our adolescence if we had been locked up at home? Nothing. Nothing bad, but nothing good either. None of everything that has made us the people we are.
Bosco App is an intelligent solution that encourages open and healthy communication between parents and children”, that’s how the brand defines it to us, but I think it doesn’t know much about it. What else?
Bosco App is presented as a digital companion that helps parents protect their children online. The app has advanced image analysis that detects inappropriate photographs, ensuring that children are not exposed to material that is not appropriate for their age.” Additionally, Bosco uses advanced text analysis backed by Artificial Intelligence that detects potential threats, such as cyberbullying, in 10 different languages and notifies parents when necessary.
And they add that, “our app is designed as a safety barrier that allows parents to take proactive measures and ensure their children are safe while exploring the digital world.”
Well, this seems better to us, but let’s put it through the translator: Bosco App is installed on our children’s phone and provides us with information about their activity in cyberspace. And I say information, not data that we then need an algorithm to decipher.
And this, that they live, is important, because as the brand points out, “Bosco recognizes the importance of education in the digital age. We not only provide protection solutions, but we also focus on providing resources for parents and children to learn about safety, privacy, and responsible behavior online. “We believe that education is essential for children to understand the risks and make informed decisions, allowing them to make the most of the positive opportunities that technology offers.”
I like that you ask me this question, and you are right. Right off the bat, what comes to mind is that we are intruding on our children’s privacy. We have that ambivalent feeling of wanting to know, but not knowing. We want them to be free, but controlled. We want and we suffer.
Therefore, do not suffer. One of the highlights of Bosco App is its focus on privacy and confidentiality. Because all data collected is uniquely protected and encrypted. In addition, Bosco does not share personal data collected on children’s devices and, when it must collaborate with other applications to improve services for them, Bosco App does so anonymously.
Finally, another statement from the brand that I think makes its intentions quite clear:
Because what Bosco App seeks is not to prohibit, it is to give parents tools to be able to educate our children (knowingly).
“It is important that the use of the application fosters trust, mutual understanding and joint resolution of problems related to technology,” they conclude from Bosco App.
