The table in the ACLU report is kind of interesting. I mean, I was confused about the could be shared with law enforcement and the could be used to discipline my friends but then seeing the Could be used to identify trans/reproductive health makes those amounts completely understandable as well as the undocumented statement.
- I always feel like I’m being watched 32%
- How it could be used to discipline me or my friends 27%
- What our school and companies they contract with do with the data (such as sell it, analyze it, etc.) 26%
- How it limits what resources I feel I can access online 24%
- Could be shared with law enforcement 22%
- Could be used against me in the future by a college or an employer 21%
- Could be used to identify students seeking reproductive health care (such as contraception or abortion care) 21%
- Could be used to identify students seeking gender-affirming care (such as transgender students seeking hormones) 18%
- Could be used against immigrant students, especially those who are undocumented 18%
- How it limits what I say online 17%
- Could be used to “out” LGBTQIA+ students 13%
- I have no concerns regarding surveillance in my school 27%

Note: Found the one big thing I wanted in the ACLU stuff but I’m not reading through the Vice News report at this moment: As Vice News reported, “The few published studies looking into the impacts of [student surveillance] tools indicate that they may have the effect [of] breaking down trust relationships within schools and discouraging adolescents from reaching out for help.”83 Ironically, the same tools the EdTech Surveillance industry is promoting as a means for identifying students in need of help may actually be dis-couraging those students from reaching out to school officials and other adults for help when they need it.
