Let me get this straight, there is a school out there that spies on kids at home using the built in webcam on laptops issued to the students? You have got to be kidding me. Who thought that was a good idea? Blame long time [H] reader qdemn7 for the link.
According to the filings in Blake J Robbins v Lower Merion School District (PA) et al, the laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools' administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families. The issue came to light when the Robbins's child was disciplined for "improper behavior in his home" and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence.
