So, to be clear, the government can keep tabs on what my child watches. Google can keep track of exactly what my child watches. Twitter can filter based on its morals, what my child can see and share, as well as monitor everything they read and watch and say.

But I, as the parent that is actually responsible for the child (and may face lawsuits if I don't) am not allowed to do any of that.

Got it.

Governments and companies like Google/Twitter definitely have some shady tracking practices, sometimes even tracking between different apps and websites, but it's still nowhere near as invasive as taking a screenshot of every single thing that happens on your child's phone.

Do you have any evidence for those assertions? Respectfully, this seems like a strained analogy; I'm not sure how the government factors into this.
