> you can’t force me to use my personal phone how you’d like unless you provide it. You can force me to buy into an app that tracks the location of my device in order to enter buildings and such, but you can’t control which device I choose to use, nor force me to carry it in my personal life.
While I appreciate what you're trying to say, and agree that it's draconian. The assertion that they can't force you isn't quite true. The collage is private property, they can absolutely make entry conditional on using this app on your personal device.
If you don't agree with their measures, then you simply aren't allowed on the colleges private property. Just as equally they can make compliance a condition of providing your education (it's a private contract after-all). Again, don't like it, don't get educated.
Ultimately college education is a contract between private individuals, none of the protection you have against government overreach apply.
- gowld 6y agoContracts are only enforceable (a) if they are conscionable, and (b) if they exist. Is there a contract saying the user must carry the tracking app everywhere they go?
- XMPPwocky 6y agoProbably not but there almost certainly is the standard set of "industry standard" clauses that inevitably end up in any sort of consumer contract, basically saying "we can kick you out for any reason we want, what are you going to do, all our competitors have the same language".
