Bad parenting 101 – spyware to find out of your son is gay.

A French company offering “invisible PC spy software” has been criticised after it said its product could be used “to find out if your son is gay”.

Listing a series of “clues”, the company, Fireworld, suggested that “hacking his Facebook account” and seeing if he had visited gay websites could confirm a parent’s suspicions.

The company has since taken down the article.

The post was highlighted by a French youth LGBT rights group.
