Spying PA School District Responds, Admits to Lack of Notice, Remote Access : America's Right

Spying PA School District Responds, Admits to Lack of Notice, Remote Access : America's Right: "Yesterday evening, America’s Right broke the story of a class action lawsuit filed in Federal Court in Philadelphia alleging that the Lower Merion School District had been spying on students and students’ families in their own homes through the use of remotely accessible webcams on laptops which had been distributed to each of the district’s 1,800 high school students as part of an initiative funded with state and federal grants.

The plaintiff in the case is Harriton High School student Blake Robbins who, along with his family, first discovered the district’s remote access capability when he was approached by an assistant principal and accused of improper behavior in his own home, with the administrator’s only evidence being a snapshot obtained from the laptop webcam.

Now, the school district is responding to the allegations in the Robbins complaint."
