As student, having a large company such as Google constantly watching me as I log onto their browser is a humongous put off. Now I understand due to tragic incidents, such as September 11, 2001, that the government has put it upon themselves to spy on citizens. However I do not appreciate being watched. Recently, in one of my classes we learned that students' rights have been limited in order to ensure we are appropriately learning at our schools.
According to several articles, Google doesn't release any of our private data to the public. But that doesn't make it okay for the company or the government to interfere like that. What ever happened to the literal definition of the word "privacy?" Imagine your child playing innocently on your Android. We're all aware that Android and Google are two successful companies that cooperate with one another. So just picture your child in the arms of a total stranger working for the government. A little unsettling right?
In the story, The Crucible, the townspeople are often suspicious of one another. No one trusts anyone. Let's say the government's lack of justice represents Abigail Williams. Once you've done one bad thing, you've automatically have been charged as guilty. Despite being totally innocent the government will suspect one of being guilty. Regardless of being young, a female, a male, or anything you're always guilty until proven innocent to society.
Protecting us from the tainted reality is inevitable. Google cannot continue censoring us, because we're younger from the horrors of society. Sooner or later we need to understand that life and human kind is a dirty and unhappy place. Schools and the government can't hide that away from us. Distractions? Inappropriate banter? In some cases, those things are true. But privacy should be respected regardless of the threatening distractions to our education.
I strongly agree with your article about how the government would spy on student though Chromebook. The fact they watch as we log on to the computer is strongly invasive and i believe that they should have boundaries to our privacy.
ReplyDeletei liked this very much because i think everyone can really agree to it

ReplyDeleteRosanna- link the article into the text itself, not a separate Article word.
ReplyDeletePost a link below your image.
DeleteHow are Google and Android connected to the government, though? Google and Android are using the data collection to design advertisements, geared specifically to the user. They aren't government spies. Be sure you clarify the difference.
