“From 1 August 2024 onwards, Danish schools will no longer be allowed to enable Chromebooks and Google platforms to collect students’ personal data for processing.”
Danish regulators found municipalities had no legal basis to hand schoolchildren’s data to Google for all the purposes they do today. It took one father, Jesper Graugaard, four and a half years of mostly solo work to get there. One of the regulator’s suggested fixes is for parliament to just pass a law allowing it. Cheap Chromebooks were never the product. The kids were.
