    I mean yeah, I don’t watch porn on an office computer at work after all. They should have their own devices for all that stuff. School devices = school-related activity only, no more.

      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?

        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.
