It is now being reported that that many LM District students had noticed their laptop webcam activation lights coming on briefly at times, and when some of them complained about it they were told by administrators that it was just a "glitch."

I'll bet those were not "glitches" at all but were, instead, instances of unwarranted snooping by someone in the district's IT department. Indeed, in light of the national attention now cast, have these so-called glitches mysteriously stopped occurring?

If they wanted to track it, then why the fuck didn't they install GPS? What the hell were they thinking, remotely activating a camera solving the problem?

*facepalm*

If it was a public school, no way in hell I'd want my tax dollars going to this abuse of power.

Don't be a sucker @skyleach.

He's talking within 1 context just, granted

Though you must know, these applications can easily be used for other, much more unaltruistic tasks.

Paedophilia for instance. Data mining...

And no amount of "regulation" is going to prevent the determined.

Step back a little further again eh?

[skyleach]

Those of you who are talking about this being disgusting and this guy being a terrible person need to step back a bit and think about what you are saying.

He's proud of his work... fine. Technically speaking, it's pretty decent work from what i can tell. I'd be proud of figuring out how to do it as well.

The problem is that there was no system to safeguard the rights of the users put into place, and therein was the schools fallacy and eventual mis-step that will cost them.

@snowboardin206 Except for the evidence that the computer registered to Blake Robbins of Harriton High school was used to take pictures of him in the PRIVACY OF HIS OWN HOME.

snowboardin206, are you stupid?

[kenj0418]

@snowboardin206 Its not this video that makes us think he's (or someone for that school district) been using this to spy on people. Its the numerous news stories about it, and the lawsuit that at least one family has filed against the district.

[snowboardin206]

are you kidding me? all of you saying that this is disgusting cannot be watching the same video I am. In this video he doesnt spy on anyone. He talks about how theres an option that IN THE EVENT of a reported stolen or missing laptop, a tech guy can turn on the tracking system so it can find the laptop. how do you think they found those laptops in the classroom that he refers to? he saw camera shots of a classroom! there's nothing in this video to suggest he's been spying on anyone at home.
