Touche. I get that and agree. It's certainly a polarizing conversation.
I'm hoping the conversation and courts arrive at definitive guidance and regulations that preserves freedom, doesn't add to the surveillance state and provides some kind of answer to the half or more than half of the population that expects school districts to surveil everything kids do on their devices (self-harm, harm, bullying, etc).
It's a really weird experience to hear the same powerful people argue both sides. How do you expect us to do one without the other?
And again, it's... safe to assume there are a lot of bad actors in education where enforced safeguards are needed.
- wakawaka28 11mo agoJust keep the spying to a minimum. Any spying on a kid or his family outside of school is off-limits. 1984 was a warning, not an instruction manual.
- runjake 11mo agoAlready do, but that doesn’t help with the many more curious and nosy administrators out there, which is why you need regulations, enforcement, and auditing.
- wakawaka28 11mo agoMaking the spying impossible is better than any regulations or auditing.

- astrobe_ 11mo agoOn a linux-like system, one could block access using file permissions, e.g chmod a-r /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c for a microphone. Probably less easy to do on Android, though.
