They aren’t data mining students for profit. There mining their data to brainwash them in future elections
Never ever let your child use a school owned computer.
My daughter’s school requires the students use Google Classroom.
Always made me queasy.
This is a from Yahoo message today when I signed in:
Imagine what google is learning about and the gov’t and will blackball the students in their grades and in future employment if you do not “think” correctly.
How we collect and use data.
We’ve updated some of the ways we collect and analyze user data in order to deliver services, content, relevant advertising and abuse protection.
This includes: analyzing content and information when you use our services (including emails, instant messages, posts, photos, attachments, and other communications), linking your activity on other sites and apps with information we have about you, and providing anonymized and/or aggregated reports to other parties regarding user trends.
It’s only a “scandal” if someone who matters cares. I think schools could be running a human-sacrifice lottery in the basement, and the vast majority of parents wouldn’t really care. It’s still free daycare, and the odds are they’ll stone somebody else’s kid.
FB has more information on more people than the FBI ever had.
I wonder if Obama took over the college loan industry in order to data mine college age names, etc, for campaign purposes.
Today’s socialist-leftists here in the US and in Europe are tomorrow’s Stalin and Mao. Remember how the Soviets and Mao’s China had a list of social classes, learned occupations, religions and believers in non-communist politics who were persecuted and denied just about everything like jobs, school admissions and decent housing as the government controlled everything?
Today’s leftists are building lists of everyone’s data not just to use now to win elections or sell you crap with ads, when they run the government totally, your conservative or Christian kids, relatives and grandkids will be punished unto the third generation with similar peersecution.
