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.
