Comment on School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.

• Arkouda@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Yes it is an explanation why.

  Your question: Why is/should this be acceptable.

  My answer: These are school issued machines, and like all machines issued by a 3rd party for use under their supervision, they come with monitoring software.

  It is acceptable because it is the schools property and they can do as they wish with it. Everyone else is free to not use those machines.

  This is not a hard thing to grasp.

  But since you are just being combative we are done here.

    That is not an explanation on why this is the case. Cowardly slinking away into the shadows is par for the course.

    Just for thought:

    • Is everyone free not to use them? (Does the school offer solutions for byod?)
    • Can people afford to make another choice while at the same time being forced to use laptops?
    • Is the type of monitoring reasonable and proportional?

    I’ll bet a dollar the answer to this all is NO.

    The whole pro company schtick is getting old.

      Offer a real conversation to others instead of being combative and maybe you will have better results with people in the future.

      The whole pro company schtick is getting old.

      I never once stated I was “pro company”. Another tip, free of charge, don’t put words in peoples mouths. Makes your already faulty argument moot.

      Is everyone free not to use them?

      Yes.

      Can people afford to make another choice while at the same time being forced to use laptops?

      No one is forced to use a laptop. Libraries exist with free internet access and computer.

      Is the type of monitoring reasonable and proportional?

      Yes. If you do not think it is I can only assume you weren’t a child when the internet became a thing. I was “monitored” on school computers in the 90’s and this is no different.

      Now are you actually going to participate in good faith or should I simply block you?

        I asked you WHY… and you still have not answered. But at the same time attacked the tone of the message.

        And if your viewpoint ignores Personal rights in favor of corporations stomping all over them you are by extension pro corp. It’s your words not mine. But sure.

        Go ahead and block me… as I can’t imagine any proper answer on WHY this behavior by schools and companies should be acceptable will ever come.
