Especially since they don't trust Google one yota not to completely violate their privacy. So what? A lot of people, myself included, will never, ever use an Android device. They’re on most of the phones in the world This is an anti-spam and anti-abuse requirement, not because they need you to tell them your phone number.Īny means of backing up that statment? Specifically, why are anti-spam measures needed to access a device? Given that this is a very new account I smell trolling, or astroturfing. The hypocrisy of the tech community who have nothing to say on the privacy implications of ChromeOS in schools is hard to understand.
Tracking is so pervasive and so normalised that no-one even bothers to ask: why should students be tracked in the first place? Tracking online behaviour is in Google's DNA and no-one does it at such industrial scale. And as we've seen from Netflix and Spotify, aggregated data still lets you pull out precise details and behaviour from "anonymised" data (a meaningless term). They can now poke and interrogate that data in ways that even they probably haven't fully grasped. But even if the online activity from students is aggregated or detached from individual accounts, that still means Google holds the personal online behaviour of millions of students. People rush to Google's defence and say that Google doesn't build ad or marketing profiles from student data. Sure, you can use a guest account, but you won't be able to save anything because the entire OS is "cloud-based". ChromeOS is an entire operating system that tracks you from the moment you sign-in with your Google account. Those students are being tracked regardless of whether they provided their mobile phone number.
