Owner powers: message supervision and communication lockdown

The Owner/Slave bond unlocks DomBound’s two most serious tools. Both touch the other person’s privacy, which is why they are built on the same logic: expressly authorised, always visible, and revocable.

Message supervision

Lets the Owner read his slave’s conversations. Read only.

How it is authorised (slave)

In your chat settings, switch on «Allow my Owner’s supervision». Before you confirm, the app tells you exactly what you are granting:

Your Owner will be able to read your conversations while it is active (you will always see a notice). What he reads during that time cannot be undone, even if you withdraw it afterwards.

How it is activated (Owner)

In the conversation, «Supervise messages» → «Activate». The warning you see is equally explicit: you are going to read his conversations from now, read-only, both parties will see a notice, and it is a serious intrusion into his privacy.

If he has not enabled it, you will see that this slave has not enabled supervision in his settings. There is no way to force it.

While it is active

• The slave sees «Messages supervised by [Owner]» in the conversation.
• The person he is talking to sees it too. Third parties are not spied on without being told.
• The Owner sees «You are supervising this conversation: you can read, not write».
• Everything is consulted from the Supervision section.

When it is withdrawn

Either party can withdraw it. And something important happens: the key is rotated. If it is granted again later, access starts from that new moment; what happened in between is not recovered.

Communication lockdown

Temporarily suspends the slave’s ability to write to third parties.

• The Owner imposes it from the conversation: «Lock down communication», choosing the hours.
• The slave sees: You are under a communication lockdown. You can read, but only write to your Owner. With the end time.
• Anyone trying to talk to him sees that he is under a communication lockdown imposed by [Owner] and until when — with the Owner’s name linked. Responsibility has a face.
• The Owner can lift the lockdown early.

It also exists as a control punishment («App restriction»), with two levels: chats with third parties only, or total, leaving just the route to the Owner with «Talk to [Owner]».

The rule that crosses both

Neither tool can be turned against the safety exits. Emergency release stays available, so do the emergency block and the report, and emergency alerts are always sent.

An Owner who demands supervision as a condition for continuing, or who uses lockdown to isolate you from people who worry about you, is doing exactly what the platform goes after.
