That's not what the article nor the judgement say though...

    It says that there's no legal ground for troubleshooting/measuring data to be shared with Google: > The conclusion of the Danish Data Protection Authority's decision is that there is authority to pass on the students' information for the purpose of providing the services, improving the security and reliability of the services, communication with e.g. the municipalities and compliance with legal obligations. > At the same time, however, the assessment is that the Folkeskole Act does not sufficiently clearly authorize the municipalities to pass on the students' information for the maintenance and improvement of the Google Workspace for Education service, ChromeOS and the Chrome browser, or for measuring the performance and development of new functions and services in ChromeOS and the Chrome browser. That's very different than the DPA outright saying Chromebooks "will no longer be allowed", period. Google could introduce a toggle to separate the two in order not to lose the entire market, schools could dual-boot a Linux distro on them, and so on. Like everything GDPR-related, it's far more nuanced than what random HN commenters want to believe.

      Fair enough, that is a distinction worth making. A good one in fact. Bceuase now Google may be forced to unlock or otherwise not encumber Chrombeook hardware.
