Schoolwork Without Surveillance: The FTC’s Crackdown on Ed Tech Privacy Abuses

On May 19, the Federal Trade Commission unanimously voted to approve a Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) policy statement that warns against surveillance as a condition of accessing educational tools. The statement explains that “Children should not have to needlessly hand over their data and forfeit their privacy in order to do their schoolwork or participate in remote learning, especially given the wide and increasing adoption of ed tech tools.” The FTC emphasized COPPA’s prohibition against mandatory collection, limitations on the use and retention of data, and security requirements.
