Is SmartPass Turning NYC Schools into Surveillance Zones?

SmartPass technology in New York City public schools tracks students' movements during class hours, raising privacy concerns among students and the New York Civil Liberties Union. Implemented in 167 schools, the system logs missed class time and identifies hall usage patterns. The NYCLU questions the necessity of such surveillance for routine activities. The Department of Education allows individual schools to decide on adoption, with significant financial investment involved. CBS News New York awaits a response from SmartPass regarding these concerns.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.
