| 2024-11-19 |  | | en | The Chrome extension "Linewize" is a serious threat to student privacy and safety, rather than a safeguard. Despite its claims to protect students, it operates more like an intrusive surveillance tool, constantly monitoring and tracking students' online activities. Instead of providing a safe environment for learning, Linewize invades students' personal digital space, recording their every move without meaningful transparency or consent. The idea of ensuring student safety online is important, but Linewize does so in a way that compromises trust and freedom. By continuously spying on students, it creates an atmosphere of fear and surveillance, where students are constantly aware that they are being watched. This undermines the sense of safety that students need to feel comfortable expressing themselves, exploring new ideas, and engaging in the digital world. Far from promoting genuine online safety, Linewize stifles students' ability to navigate the web freely and securely. Instead of fostering a healthy digital learning environment, Linewize creates an atmosphere of oppression and distrust. It should be removed immediately to preserve students' privacy, autonomy, and mental well-being. Schools must seek better, more transparent solutions that actually protect students' safety without compromising their rights or personal freedom. |
