This is so, so fucking stupid.
Am i really supposed such a jarring and complete lack of ceitical thinking ability to believe that this is an issue worth writing an article about?
To explain: of all the monumentally incompetent, illegal, mond-numbingly stupid, and agressively short-sighted things a trenager is inevitably going to type into a school laptop I'm supposed to believe that THIS, this is what is worth writing an article about?
I do not disagree with what the author is teying to say but holy fucking shit what a load of pandering, steaming shit this is.
Getting flagged for being trans is, like, one of a countless number of idiotic things a teenager could do with a school laptop with monitoring software installed that could potentially land them in hot water.
The dangers of normalizing surveillance amongst students are so fucking multitudinous that to highlight any one of them is fuckjng pointless when addressing the root of it covers ALL of them. Including the subject of this article.
