Why is there so little scrutiny over Chromebooks in schools? Every time this topic is raised, people rush to Google's defence. Yes, I know Google doesn't create advertising profiles from student data. This doesn't make their data collection behaviour defensible. They are still capturing student data in staggering quantities. Even if the data is "anonymous" (a meaningless term) and aggregated in some form, this is still an unimaginably huge quantity of student data that Google have captured and saved for themselves. Rather than ask what kind of tracking is acceptable, we should instead ask: why is tracking of students (who have no choice in the matter) even considered acceptable in the first place?
