BoingBoing -- According to the filings in Blake J Robbins v Lower Merion School District (PA) et al, the laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools' administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families. The issue came to light when the Robbins's child was disciplined for "improper behavior in his home" and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence.

Ладно бы наблюдали исподтишка, понимая, что поступают неправильно.
Хуже всего, что они считают, что это правильно, что они делают благо для общества.

If they're recording images of underage children without parental consent, couldn't that be considered child pornography?
