Yeah, that’s not spyware, it’s called mobile device management and if the school owns it, they have every right to monitor it.
I don’t give a shit. I am required to use it and it has a fucking keylogger. You have to be a complete idiot to say that isn’t spyware.
Sassy. You’re required to use it for school work. No one is forcing you to use it on your own time, get your own personal device for that. Cope.
Hoc cognito, ergo dico hoc. Compartmentalize information that you can; create a new email specifically for school, tape over camera when possible, avoid connecting to your other devices, disconnect the battery when possible. Use other devices for sensitive information.
I only use it for school anyway but would like privacy for schoolwork.
Do you have any plans to share your schoolwork with.. well, school?
Then go the AdNauseum route. Give them such vast sums of information to sift through that it’s nearly useless to pick through any specific piece. Hotstrings would make the task much more painless, and save you dozens of hours per year once you get used to using them in other capacities.
