Hey Reddit i have something to share that to me at least is a bit more serious than usual here goes
So recently I have been decompiling a program which is called Lanschool. The program is a remote administration tool which allows teachers to view the student's screen all viewed websites usernames and passwords including those for non school use such as Google accounts Facebook ect even when outside of school hours and regardless of location. It also provides remote access to the computers hardware such as the camera and microphone (when connected to the same WiFi) as well as the ability to open, block and privately message students. Certain teachers at my school (who shall remain unnamed for obvious reasons) have repeatedly boasted and one has even gone as far as to list all the websites that a student visited (who will also remain unnamed) and the times they where accessed to the entire class. I have also discovered various undocumented features such as remote file transfer (this allows a teacher to for example download a student's private photos without consent) as well as other various features that are a clear breach of privacy. To top it off the student often is not informed about Lanschool and its various features often not learning of this until informed by another student. What do you guys think of this? Is this kind of behaviour even legal?
