If your child has a school-issued device, there's a good chance that school administrators are using it to spy on them. According to a new investigation from The New York Times, almost half of American schoolchildren are subject to surveillance on their school devices designed to track whether they're at risk for self-harm or suicide.
Federal law requires schools to use content filters on the devices they give kids. However, many popular educational tech companies also offer AI-boosted tools that look at what students are typing and send school administrators alerts if a student displays warning signs of self-harm.
