My children all have gmail because their schools facilitated them having accounts. I worked at a school which uses Outlook for email for faculty and staff but also uses OneDrive for documents. My children have a ton of data already collected on them from school computer usage. They come home and log in to their accounts and proceed to produce more personal data. How many parents knowingly consent to this? Also, schools are using data collection regularly starting in preschool. Motives for educators are innocent enough. However, the companies collecting the data are probably not as secure as they should be.
Many many years ago, I posted regularly on lucianne’s website. She actively promoted google when google was starting out. That is when I first used google. I was eventually kicked off that site for taking a W speech and comparing his words to Bubba’s words. Lol
Schools have failed to teach their students how to function in the real future world where big corporations, criminal organizations, and government “security” organizations have total access to information about them.
That means that any student will be able to be blackmailed at any time by some very bad folks—unless they have been perfect and obedient citizens with “politically correct” thoughts every moment of their waking lives.
That is the real future—unless young people stand up and say “f___ this!”
“For some, having a robust social media presence is a professional necessity. Seven out of 10 employers use social media to screen candidates before hiring, according to a survey conducted in early 2017 on behalf of CareerBuilder.”
#13 HA! I was kicked off for posting my 1st article about a diver rescuing a trapped crewman underwater when a ship sunk. My offense was posting too many words. That site has so many many many many blinking ads on it. You and everyone at that site were tracked.
