Not if the school actually cares about the future of its students.
From a blog post[0] we published at NuCypher a while back:
> If we fail to take action now, we risk a world in which unsavory actors - domestic and foreign - have built rich, comprehensive profiles for every one of our children, following the trajectories of their education, home life, consumer habits, health, and on and on. These profiles will then be used to manipulate their behavior not only as consumers, but as voters and participants in all those corners of society which, in order for freedom and justice to prevail, require instead that these kids mature into functional, free-thinking adults.

- rdxm 7y agoExactly. why do you think they punched the OPM to get SF86's? It continues to surprise me that people just don't grok basic concepts of intelligence gathering. Particularly on a site like this.... And as much is its controversial here, there is a material difference between US and Chinese objectives, value systems and implementations of surveillance.
- gowld 7y agoSure, but Zoom isn't anywhere near the source of marignal risk on that.
- mattip 7y agoIs Google or Facebook any better in this regard?
- DeathArrow 7y agoIt highly depends on the definition of the good guys. If you live in US, that might be true. If you live in the rest of the world that might be false.
- jMyles 7y agoIs the fact that I specifically called out both of them in the post insufficient condemnation? :-) Indeed - they're no better.
- fnord123 7y agoI got confused and thought he was talking about Google. The results already exist via Cambridge Analytica. It's like the old 5G debate in Europe: who do you want to have a backdoor: Cisco+USA or Huawei+PRC? (Hint for Americans: some/many see China as less malevolent).
