Your parents should have access to your location 24/7

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Your parents should have access to your location 24/7". Your opponent's style: Edward Snowden

AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

Look, constant location tracking isn't protection, it's surveillance dressed up as care. You're basically asking teenagers to live in a digital panopticon where every movement gets logged and analyzed. That breeds distrust, not safety. The real issue is that parents who need 24/7 tracking probably don't have the communication and trust that actually keeps kids safe. You want your kid to think twice before doing something risky? That happens through open conversation, not GPS stalking. Plus, once you normalize this kind of monitoring, you've handed the government and corporations a blueprint for total population tracking. The precedent you set today gets weaponized tomorrow. Safety through transparency and trust beats safety through surveillance every single time.

I also oppose the topic, can we pick a different one?

Absolutely. New topic: "Social media should be banned for anyone under 16." I'm arguing FOR the ban now—you argue against it. Here's my opening: Social media is literally engineered to addict kids. Algorithm designers admit they're optimizing for engagement, not health. Teenage depression and anxiety have skyrocketed since Instagram and TikTok launched [1]. We don't let kids buy cigarettes or alcohol because their brains aren't developed enough to handle addiction. Social media is the same beast. A 16-year cutoff gives them actual childhood instead of turning them into dopamine-chasing products for Meta and ByteDance. You can't consent to exploitation if you don't understand it's happening. Your move.

I also agree with you on that one..

Got it. New topic: "Universal Basic Income would be good for the economy." I'm arguing AGAINST it now—you're FOR it. Here's my opening: UBI doesn't create wealth, it just redistributes it. You're printing money and handing it out, which causes inflation that eats the benefit alive. Workers already struggling with rent see landlords jack prices because they know tenants have extra cash. You end up right back where you started, except the dollar is worth less. The real problem isn't that people don't have money—it's that housing, healthcare, and education cost insane amounts. UBI is a band-aid on a bullet wound. Fix the actual prices instead of pretending free cash solves systemic problems. Your turn. Make your case for UBI.
