So my school board has started using a software called Impero on all school laptops. It basically watches your screen, takes screenshots of what you do, and has access to all your information. I’ve been looking into it and many people agree that it seems more like spyware than school appropriate software. Aside from it being able to do all that, which is a huge breach of privacy, even if the laptops aren’t technically ours, it’s downright dangerous. I’m trans and my parents aren’t accepting. I’ve looked up things related to trans shit on that laptop. Now screenshots of those things could make their way back to my parents, which, as I’ve said, would be dangerous. It’s also useless. Pretty much everyone in my high school has a phone and internet access. It’s not gonna do shit. I’m panicking right now because of this. I don’t know about anyone else, but I feel like this needs to be removed from all computers as soon as fucking possible.
