Lower Merion School's Report Says IT Dept. Did It, But Didn't Inhale

Posted by timothy on from the so-what's-a-few-snapshots-anyhow dept.

PSandusky writes "A report issued by the Lower Merion School District's chosen law firm blames the district's IT department for the laptop webcam spying scandal. In particular, the report mentions lax IT policies and record-keeping as major problems that enabled the spying. Despite thousands of e-mails and images to the contrary, the report also maintains that no proof exists that anyone in IT viewed images captured by the webcams."

    In all honesty, we aren't too far from cameras being in all our homes. London already has them on every street. Imagine 20-30 years from now when they realize that cameras on every corner street doesn't stop all the activity the administrators don't like.

    This is the problem with the advance of technology: when it becomes extremely cheap, the temptation to abuse technology and violate privacy (if that concept even still exists) becomes greater and greater.
