I realize that you're just selling a product, but to potential customers:

   Reasons #1 and #2 are the only legit ones.

   Reason #3 disgusts me. Do you trust your mate? No? Then your problems
   are already much bigger than worrying about some "chat group". This is
   on a par with hiring a private eye.

   Reason #4 equally disgusts me. "Wrong crowd"? What the hell kind of a
   parent spies on their kids. If they come from a loving family and have
   a stable, secure background, then the crowd that they hang with will
   never make a difference. They may end up being the positive influence
   in that circle of friends.


Also, fear mongering is no way to sell a product.
The first two reason were respectable, but there's no
point in becoming one of those feed-off-of-other's-fears
companies. There are enough of those.
