   If your first thought when you hear that a company that makes computers and writes curricula that trains kids how to use computers proudly hired a spy cop and gave the middle finger to those who raised ethical concerns is to defend the company and the spy cop in question, you should take a moment, stop what you’re doing, and give yourself a firm slap in the face.

   It won’t change anything but it’ll make me feel better at least.

     @aral And we have Google that seems to own most (if not all) of US school tech stacks.

     Chromebooks, Google Classroom.

     I’m sure that there won’t be any unpleasant surprises there.

     @steevmi1 Yep. And Google being welcomed with open arms was the reason one of the co-founders and I quit Code Club. Soon afterwards, it was absorbed by Raspberry Pi.
