Ugh. I'm sure everyone's heard of the high school that provides students with laptops, equipped with cameras, which can be remotely activated and used to take pictures of the students without their (or their parents') knowledge or consent.
I wonder if this was in some fine print in a contract students/parents needed to sign to get the computer? "I the undersigned do hereby agree that you can spy on my kid at will"?
[Staring suspiciously at my own webcam. Because I bought this computer myself, but who knows who might have gotten to it? I'm inclined to stick masking tape over the camera eye right now.]
I saw this on Alas, A Blog.
