I’m curious, what about their privacy policy has you convinced that they’re a “giant data collection machine”? I just read it and it seems pretty reasonable to me. They clearly outline all the purposes they need to use your data for, most of which are just to operate their site. I would encourage you to think twice before implementing measures that are going to o add more friction to your kids’ schooling. (Live CD? Tor? Really?)

I worry a lot about my kid writing or saying something that would be innocent child's play when in person but might be construed as domestic terrorism if seen in the wrong data dump by the wrong enforcement agency. How can you teach right and wrong in an environment like this?

Perhaps I misunderstand it as one person commented but the part that creeps me out was this one part (iii) the pages of the Site a user visits; and (iv) other sites a user visited before visiting our Site. So they not only track what you do on their site but will be tracking the rest of my internet browsing history or am I misunderstanding this? There was more I didn't like to be honest but I am on my way to bed so will leave it at this point for tonight. This is my kids privacy I worry about they don't know how to and if I have to use a service for their school because of covid I don't want my kids and my internet browsing habits known. Other then a basic cookie for log in purposes there is no need to be doing a bunch of tracking on kids personal computers on there personal home networks. And since this is HN we have all see the many articles that basically say yes most of the time anonymous data can be tied to you. Yes I am sure it is so mundane to most but I really wish we had the privacy laws like gdpr because I really do not think our kids deserve to be snooped on. I appreciate your thoughts.
