+<h2>On Privacy at School</h2>
+
+<address class="byline">by Richard Stallman</address>
+<hr class="thin" />
+<div class="article">
+
+<p>Wired published an article of advice for students about <a
+href="https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-protect-yourself-school-surveillance-tech-privacy/";>
+how to resist surveillance by their schools</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The advice it gives is valid as far as it goes, but it falls far
+short of what students need to know to resist all the threats.</p>
+
+<p>The article poses the question:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+<p>How is student data secured?</p>
+<blockquote>
+
+<p>This question invites confusion. If someone claims to keep data about
+you “secure,” what does that mean? Secure <em>from whom</em>?
+The school's computers are unlikely to keep anyone secure from <a
+href="/education/governments-let-companies-snoop-on-students.html">
+snooping EdTech companies</a> that operate with the school's cooperation.</p>
+
+<p>“Using your own personal device” usually means using a <a
+href="/proprietary/malware-mobiles.html">snoop-phone</a>. It may protect
+you from snooping by the school and by <a
+href="/proprietary/malware-edtech.html">EdTech companies</a>, provided
+you never use it to visit a site that has anything to do with the school
+or an EdTech company and never do unencrypted
+communication <a href="#Note1" id="Note1-rev">[1]</a>.
+But the device was made by a computer company—usually <a
+href="/proprietary/malware-apple.html">Apple</a> or <a
+href="/proprietary/malware-google.html">Google</a>—that also made
+the operating system in it. That system always contains nonfree software that
+snoops on you plenty. Most <a
+href="/proprietary/proprietary-surveillance.html#SpywareInApplications">
+apps</a> for that snoop phone are nonfree, and they snoop for various
companies, often behind the back of the
+organization that commissioned development of the app itself. Encryption
+features or apps, if they are part of that nonfree operating system or
+nonfree, are likely to snoop on users too.</p>
+
+<p>The only way to protect yourself against this is to <a
+href="/education/bigtech-threats-to-education-and-society.html">reject
+nonfree programs</a> (programs that are not free/libre) in your device.
+(Alas, iPhones entirely prohibit free software.) And even then, the
+hardware may have a back door, such as Microsoft's Pluton chip or the
+<a href="/proprietary/proprietary-insecurity.html#M201706050">Intel
+Management Engine</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Connecting a phone or computer to USB, even “for charging,”
+makes it vulnerable. Some <a
+href="https://www.wallofsheep.com/pages/juice";>security conferences</a>,
+with the purpose of educating the public about security issues, have
+installed a place full of USB sockets which were set up also to snoop on
+any computer (including a snoop-phone) plugged in there. The participants
+saw a USB jack and thought, “This is where we should charge our
+devices,” and assumed it was safe to use. When the conference
+organizers revealed the snooping, they taught these users a lesson about
+security.</p>
+
+<p>Privacy is not only for children and teenagers. We need to demand
+privacy for adults, too. This means that schools, stores, clinics,
+transportation companies, and other organizations people deal with
+must not demand you tell them who you are, and must not try to find
+out.</p>
+
+<p><a href="#Note1-rev" id="Note1">[1]</a>To be secure for you,
+encryption has to be done with a free program that you have installed
+into your computer. If a <a
+href="/proprietary/proprietary-insecurity.html#M201309054">nonfree
+program running in your computer does the encryption</a>, including <a
+href="/philosophy/javascript-trap.html">JavaScript</a> sent to the
+browser by an online “service,” or if it is done in the <a
+href="/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.html">online
+“service” server</a> itself, it is not secure.</p>
