Schools are making students record their bedrooms in order to take exams, letting virtual watchers study their every move. Gross invasion of privacy, no meaningful way to opt out, emblematic of suspect-first-trust-later teaching. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/04/01/online-proctoring-college-exams-coronavirus/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/technolog...

The companies offering these services are positively giddy about the surge in demand for their surveillance services: "There’s just so much opportunity in places we haven’t really chased before". Make no mistake, students here are the prey to be "chased" as "opportunities".

Is it OK if I throw up from the grossly invasive constant watching I& #39;m being subjected to? Yes. Oh, great... ****baaarf****

Talk about manufacturing consent to a society of ever-increasing surveillance from both the state and companies. Once you& #39;ve studied under such an oppressive regime, you& #39;re probably all the more pliant for what& #39;s to come as societal surveillance accelerates. Truly dystopian.
