This only validates all the conspiracy theories that my teenage boys have been telling one another since the pandemic started. https://t.co/Tpz9qZIuhN

"Gizmodo analyzed a random sample of 5,000 public school or school district websites across the United States and found that eight district websites mention Cellebrite or another MDFT technology." https://t.co/F9R3aMSEvo

My school learned about my shit and started patching quickly. What I did have was access to the entire staff network and all the Macs and a little server and printer access.

Parents should discuss with their kids why they should never hand over their devices. Also, make sure the devices are secured with a password and not just biometrics. https://t.co/hqUPS20PZo

Pissing the tech students off is legit kicking a hornets nest and expecting not to be stung. It's never a good idea.

Finding openings in networks is something I just find fun and in my last school the accountant and school board secretary had their desktops wide open
I made life hell for my old HS’s IT department (then later went in and spent 3 years helping them.) It’s not hard. Nobody wants to piss off a techie student.

School districts are purchasing phone-cracking surveillance tech, and have been doing so for *years* ? https://t.co/WsrQpvphBy

The tech is from a company called Cellebrite, which is said to have been used to unlock the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone. Now it’s being used in schools. https://t.co/mLMciFswqS

LOL! But these are kids. It's illegal for companies to profit off of kid's privacy, the last time I checked.

Interesting developments in schools on the privacy front.

And, the question is begged - in those instances where a student's consent is given before schools access phones, can a minor child even give consent? And, do schools need or just want this tech?https://t.co/W5C4xp9dfC
If my school did this, they'd have a whole lot more issues to deal with than trying to get data off my devices
— McGuire Wood (On Holiday Break)? (@Jioriku) December 11, 2020
And it's all because searches and seizures are easier to carry out in schools - laws protecting teachers and admins and students in fear of disciplinary actions ? https://t.co/QGPczHBHq1

Can we please stop repeating the lie that Cellebrite was used in the San Bernardino case?
— Lorenzo (he/him) ?? (@lorenzofb) December 11, 2020
I can confirm that it was * not * used to unlock that iPhone. Stop doing free marketing for Cellebrite. https://t.co/99GOtv6n0t
Example #47563846575987 of the invasiveness and lack of dignity/humanity with which students are treated.

This and all of the rest of the creepy software and technology used to spy in educational institutions is shameful and it was all a very avoidable status quo. https://t.co/zWGesUxnnZ
Look I understand the his room an extent but nothing that important could be happening. Trying to find students cheating? Do it the normal way. Drugs? Let the police handle it. Bullying? Talk to people.

There’s 0 reason any school should be hacking students phones.
NEW from @dmehro and me: school districts in Texas, and the Los Angeles Unified School District, have purchased phone-hacking forensics tech developed by Israeli firm Cellebrite and other firms for use in counterterrorism and intelligence operations https://t.co/3s70wkk2PR

NEW: @dmehro and @thetomzone found schools in the U.S. are buying phone-hacking tools like Cellebrite, showing how rapidly these invasive tools can spread from the feds all the way down to school administrators https://t.co/rLVGGu2iVr

Today's second read is on the surveillance society's quiet extension into the schools. Here's a sample. https://t.co/DdUUyN9K4N

I remember when the police at my high school would randomly search kids backpacks or lockers. Privacy violations using tech are the subsequent iteration of demanding complete transparency and compliance from children and teenagers. https://t.co/ng2FviyXcI

Warrants are required for cell phone searches and seizures during an arrest. Students deserve at least those same rights. https://t.co/I6ZQPz5LNO

It's of particular concern when these types of tools are starting to be used by public agencies that are NOT law enforcement...https://t.co/ndhPBaNEDz
