It does this through the use of an iOS or Android app, which allows parents to view the texts, call logs, web history, and location of a phone.

Google Is Turning Up the Pressure On Sites To Adopt HTTPS
Making sure a website is secure and using HTTPS before conducting any sensitive activity, such as entering in personal information like a Social Security number, is an important part of staying safe online. For Google Chrome users, that is indicated by a green lock symbol in the upper left corner. HTTPS encrypts the data from and to the website.
Chrome plans to use a bright red icon and a warning in the URL bar saying “Not Secure” to indicate a website’s HTTP status and to warn users to be wary. Right now the indication is gray in color.
Google will make the switch to use these indicators by October. If your website is not HTTPS already I strongly suggest you do so before a big red Not Secure sign is displayed when people visit your website.
