It's also worth noting that Google is almost undoubtably violating childrens privacy laws, and other states are already investigating this... it's very possible what CPS is doing here isn't even legal. There's a lot of reason that the agreements schools are making to bring Google's platform in should be dragged out into the light.

If they activate the microphone and pick up a background conversation, they could be found in violation of state or federal wiretap laws. At least one party must be aware that they are being recorded. I hope everyone involved gets held responsible and prosecuted.
