In an op-ed for The Conversation, the University of Toronto's Claudiu Popa discusses privacy issues stemming from another return to remote learning in Ontario. Popa lists the mass data collection, student tracking via education technologies and an inability to opt out of said collection or tracking as the dilemmas facing children and their parents. Popa said parents should "take a stand and protect their families by requiring school boards to supply sufficient information to be comfortable with relinquishing the digital identities of their children."
