Google’s Education Service Is Under Fire for Privacy Violations
A digital rights watchdog asked the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday
to investigate Google’s popular education service, alleging that it
violates the company’s pledge to restrict its use of student data.
Interesting note about the problems that Google is having due to privacy violations. Worth noting, when people sign up for a Google account the terms of service include the permission for Google to track the user and therefore user should know in advance Google has the power and ability to track them. But things are different in the education world as Google has pledged to only user student data for educational purposes but the boundaries seem to be very thin on this.
It will be very interesting to see the legal outcome and how this sets a precedent for future cases.
