There are laws in place to address public release of info about minors. A lot of schools require a parent's signature before they'll post a public picture of a student, even if just captured incidentally. My wife's school is pretty paranoid about this stuff, mostly because of things like custody issues, restraining orders, etc. So a legal framework is in place, one with a little more teeth behind it than your typical EULA.
- giaour 7y agoI understand that; I have also worked as a teacher. The problem is not that I expect schools to start willingly disclosing data about minors to whoever asks, but instead that there is so much data in the first place. A school with cameras everywhere -- even one that perfectly safeguards recorded video in perpetuity -- is teaching children that everything they do is on the record, ready to be marshalled as evidence against them at any point in the future. (To borrow a term from idlewords[1], such an environment conditions its occupants to a total lack of "ambient privacy.") Maybe that's the world we live in today, but it sucks.
