    Im seeing a lot of reasons why you, or i, would not want such a service to exist.

    What a person should or should not be doing is their business. Companies who can target vulnerable people would ideally be regulated.

    Id much rather first go after payday advance companies with exorbant fees, or casinos, or high interest loans that individuals cant be expected to repay.

    Aw. A cute little comment that fits nicely with the article headline.

    Thanks for saving me time by giving your summarized dissection of the article and the implications it has for apples product.

    Oh and btw all tech products stop production at some point, because you know, apple isnt a dumbass that pumps out products without regard for demand as they are creating a successive model of the product.

    Stop scrolling. Start thinking.

    In fairness you cant just say its not a zero sum game when the article is supported with a quote from one individual saying they were glad it told them in some cases. We dont know how effective it is.

    This is normalizing very intimate (and automated) surveillance. Kids all have smart phones and can google anything they want when they arent using school hardware. If kids have any serious pre-meditation to do something bad then they will do it on their smartphones.

    The only reason this would be effective is to catch students before they are aware they are being watched (poof thats gone tomorrow), or the student is so dirt poor that they dont have a smart phone or craptop.

    And what else will the student data be used for? Could it be sold? It would certainly have value. Good intentions are right now… data is FOREVER.
