Right now, the schools are treating the kids as they have not rights. For example, no right to delete the video with the private conversation. I had to lawyer up to deal with my kids school pushing "safety" software on the computers my kids use (that I own, that connect in my home network) that was leaking data to Chinese and Indian servers (there was some kind of affiliate background ad clicker that was bundled with the software or something). This will have to change.



> Chinese and Indian servers

Was this distinction necessary to make your point? Last I checked, the Chinese and Indian population do not have a duopoly on ad fraud/malware. Your racist projections conveniently sidestep the elephant in the room. Said monopolists:

1) are aware of ad fraud on their platforms, 2) enable this fraud, 3) have been caught in their own lies about ad metrics, and 4) are wilfully ignorant of said fraud because $$$.

Specifically calling them out for something everyone does is irresponsible and backward. This will have to change.
