  Sure, until they start spying on you in real time through your school issue comptuer’s webcam. (Or listening via its microphones, or snooping your wi-fi traffic with preinstalled malware, or…)

  Anyway, the asshats even try to snoop on students’ social media activity outside of school and not done on school hardware.

  From TFA:

  The research team identified 14 companies actively marketing online surveillance services frequently beyond school-issued devices and outside of school premises, raising concerns about privacy, equity and oversight.

  Emphasis mine.

    I’m confused, how can this be done? Power off non-personal devices at the end of the day and no snooping

    How is private social media available to the companies?
