Will your school issued netbook be used for spying?
School issued laptops in a Pennsylvania school district have had their webcams enabled by a school leading to accusations of spying and lawsuits.
The Associated Press reports that students in a Pennsylvania school district have been issued with laptops and that the school, in a supposed attempt to track down stolen computers, have activated the webcams. Students have been told that they've been recorded doing "inappropriate things" in their own bedrooms and there's concern that students doing innocent things like getting dressed might have been recorded as their laptops were open at the time.
I'm all for tracking down stolen gear but if the allegations are substantiated then the school authorities involved have been been, at the very least, clumsy or, at worst, incompetent.
