I bet they do on-device TLS MITM. Not sure how easy it is to do that these days, but let’s assume. What’s more 
interesting is what they do with the actual payload extracted from these encrypted sessions. Like, for videos in the 
hundreds of megabytes range. What and where analyzes that content?

Yes, encrypted apps are among the most dangerous apps for children and our embedded technology will be capable of 
filtering harmful encrypted content and will alert you to any threats.”


Uhh, yeah, right… Like Apple, Signal, WhatsApp (ok, sorry bad example) and others are going to hand over their 
encryption keys to some clueless startup?
