Should Spy Phone Software Be Banned ? - Technology - Cell Phones

Spying on a phone call is not new for many of us. We have come across stories in the media about phone tapping of politicians and celebrities. Now a days due to the improvement in technologies, its very easy even for a common man to spy on phone calls. You just need to install a spy phone software on a cell phone of whom we want to spy. Today may parents spy on their kids, lovers spy on each other and husband spy on wife or vice versa using this software. We can argue if its morally right or wrong to do this kind of stuff. But its difficult to give a straight forward answer for this question without analyzing it completely.

In most cases spy phone software are used by lovers or married couples. They do this because they want to be sure that their partner is not cheating on them. Some body might to it just because they are very possive about their partner and in other cases they it because they don't trust their partner. Relationships can come to an end if one comes to know that their partner is spying on them.

In the past, if a lover has a doubt on their partner, they either spy on them themselves or get a detective. But today, all they need to do is install a software on their partners phone. Once you have the software installed, you can get all the phone records starting from the call history.

The spy phone software is often installed in the cell phones of the teens. That is a very tender age and at that time someone harassing them could spoil their whole lives. This measure is taken to make sure the safety of these teens.

Apart from these uses, spy phone software are used in various other cases. In the competitive corporate world, its a common practice for employers to provide phones to employees with this software installed. This way they can keep a track on their employees.

The use of mobile spy software in a way mentioned above is a very delicate issue. If we go through the uses and the reasons listed above, somewhere this makes sense but at some places it is utter crap. The usage of spy phone software is ethical, only and only if, it is limited to a sensible measure. Spying on a lover can be justified only when you are actually reading the lines that your girlfriend or boyfriend is turning to someone else. Similarly the use of mobile spy software to spy on spouses is only justifiable, if you have some solid indication of cheating. Same goes for the other uses of these software.

Whatever you do, beware that you might get habitual of spying. I will repeat that it is a very delicate issue and if your target knows about this act of yours, you love life or married life could end badly.
