Imagine your search terms, key-strokes, private chats and photographs are being monitored every time they are sent. Millions of students across the country don’t have to imagine this deep surveillance of their most private communications: it’s a reality that comes with their school districts’...
And again; I think that’s a bit of a separate issue. These devices shouldn’t be equipped with cameras, let alone have the camera monitored/accessible.
The actual activity happening on the device; running applications, what’s on screen/in storage, even it’s location (with informed notice of said tracking) sure. but there’s no need to monitor/access the camera regardless of how or where the device is used.
A simple piece of tape fixes this problem. (plus education to teach students why, ofc)
When doing zoom calls for work I do it behind a curtain. Nobody sees my home at all. Then I cover the cam when not in use. These are just common sense privacy measures we should be teaching them anyway.
Like doing homework in your room? Where now the monitor can turn on your webcam without you knowing and watch you in your personal space?
