Also known as stalkerware or spouseware, these kinds of phone monitoring apps are often planted by someone — such as spouses or domestic partners — with physical access to a person’s phone, without their consent or knowledge.

Man. The fact that stalkerware is used so often on people's domestic partners that they call it "spouseware" is pretty fuckin' bleak.

I could only mildly understand using something like it on your small childs computer, but anything more than that is awful.

Also, how is that not illegal?
