its because schools are so caught up in violating students every rights to privacy that they are blatently disregarding thoes same kids safety. zoom allowes you to track eye movements. mousepad/mouse movemenst. the browser activitiy of the user. its horrifying and dare i fucking say litteral motherfucking spyware. its not a app its a fucking virus.
its so horrifically easy to guess every facet of zoom that im guessing that schools just looked at the violation features and took them in without a second throught or trial. they disregard better functioning programs like discord because they are horrified that thoes programs would give students a sliver of privacy
their instistance on using zoom is a very clear direct cause of schools horrific obsession with micromanageing every single facet of a students life.
report the fucking app.
get it taken down
If you have to use Zoom, your best bet is to run it from the browser. The Zoom website will try to get you to use the app, but if you keep declining that, it will use its browser-based interface. Since browsers have much better security, they’re unable to do any kind of persistent monitoring and have almost no access to system activities. When you close the tab, you can be assured that it isn’t running.
Seriously, there are SO MANY of us on the left in southern states. When Trump and the Republicans say that if voting access was easier, they’d never win again? We’re who they’re talking about. The same motherfuckers have had an iron-fisted control of our legislatures, our courts, and our electoral college votes since before the Civil War. Sometimes they’ve called themselves Democrats, sometimes Republicans, but it’s been the same guys for 200 years. They now call their slave plantations “private prisons,” but it’s all the same old shit.
The US labor movement began in rural company towns, farmer’s cooperatives, and Appalachian coal mines, but y'all don’t wanna hear that. No, you’d rather just insult millions of oppressed people with jokes about illiteracy, Evangelicalism, and inbreeding. Did it not occur to you that those are inflicted purposefully by the people in power? That the moment even more than a handful of us down here manage to get educated and organized, we’re way harder to control?
The people of the South need your support, not your derision. Help us organize, help us educate, help us get people to the polls, or you will never see your precious “blue wave.”
