Stockholm parents built their own school app, then the city called the cops
&gt; In some cases, people’s personal information could be accessed from Google searches.<p>SEO providers should take a note here.<p>&gt; It warned parents to stop using the app and alleged that it might be illegally accessing people’s personal information<p>If your API allows data extraction, it probably isn&#x27;t a fault of any client. Perhaps they meant that creators could steal credentials. A problem with any software.<p>I think this digital child managing system sounds moderately dystopian to be honest. I would have hated to give my parents access to anything like this. Kids will of course learn from how their parents behave...<p>An open API is a must in my opinion, but the rest of the App should be open source too.<p>That said, I don&#x27;t really see the Swedish strategy as a model for other countries to follow. You don&#x27;t need to give children chromebooks to learn. These are skills they have already mastered far better than their parents. They will learn about domain specific apps and there are indeed some really good ones, but such platform can also limit creativity because they are essentially sandpits. Depending on age that might be appropriate, but kids may have greater ambitions than their parents.
