Interpretations of the "ToC" is very subjective. I do not believe that there is a need to take interpretations to the extreme. Here's an example:
Alright so how do we interpret this? "You cannot take photos"? Or "You must not take photos"? Or how about something more reasonable, like "Take some photos, but don't go snapping every 5 minutes"? I don't believe the mum is being unreasonable, just being terribly obvious. Again we don't know the motives of the mum so everything said in this thread is some shade of grey.
If he us really being controlled by his mum because he is given these phones with these restrictions, then simply don't use it. Why walk into a path that puts you into a tighter bind when you can maintain status quo?
One last thing: for many things, you need to fall/fail in order to learn. But if you can learn the same thing by listening to others and/or you yourself avoiding the fall, isn't that even better?
