      Sure, until they start spying on you in real time through your school issue comptuer’s webcam. (Or listening via its microphones, or snooping your wi-fi traffic with preinstalled malware, or…)

      Anyway, the asshats even try to snoop on students’ social media activity outside of school and not done on school hardware.

      From TFA:

      The research team identified 14 companies actively marketing online surveillance services frequently beyond school-issued devices and outside of school premises, raising concerns about privacy, equity and oversight.

      Emphasis mine.

        I’m confused, how can this be done? Power off non-personal devices at the end of the day and no snooping

        How is private social media available to the companies?
