I wonder what’s going to happen with that public school that took tens of thousands of photos of students in their own home, without the students’ (or their parents) knowledge? There are several crimes there I can think of; I sure hope it didn’t happen to any FReepers or their families. But there ought to be civil and criminal sanctions, imo.

I'm sure the IT boss who set up the system has already received a commendation and performance bonus.

And the kids who were caught doing something within view of the webcam while at home will be disciplined.

And the appropriate parents have been referred to CPS already, I'm equally sure.

School-provided laptops. What a good idea!!! LOL

As I recall, that's how this whole thing broke open. One of the school assistant principals called a kid into her office and showed him a photo of him eating candy in his room at home, and accused him of taking illicit drugs. He told his father, who visited the assistant principal, and who then proceeded with a lawsuit.
