Online school wasn’t anyone’s favorite thing, but its lingering effects threaten students’ privacy—and safety.
There are real potential harms to this kind of surveillance. A student writing that they might be queer or trans in a personal diary in a Google Doc on their school Google account—whether on their school or personal computer—could then result in that writing being reported to school administrators and outing the student.
