Gaggle monitors the work and communications of almost 5M students in the US
This is completely absurd and I&#x27;m convinced it solves zero problems. The kids don&#x27;t know they&#x27;re being spied on until they do something &quot;wrong&quot;. Gaggle (a terrible name btw) claim they prevent suicides and school shootings. This might &quot;work&quot; at first until kids know they are being spied on. Now they know not to send an email saying &quot;I&#x27;m going to kill people&quot;. All your doing is preventing communication using school provided technology and eroding students trust in the school. You&#x27;re not actually preventing a shooting. Kids can still do whatever they want and there&#x27;s nothing you can do to stop it.<p>On top of that they monitor for profanity. WHY? It doesn&#x27;t harm anyone and let&#x27;s people express themselves how they want.<p>If I was a parent I wouldn&#x27;t want some random people at a for profit company spying on my child. That&#x27;s my job.<p>Do kids still read 1984?
