Sounds a bit hyperbolic. How are kids being hurt by Google specifically?

Take a read here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11528-021-00599-4

Not specifically related to Google, but we are making our kids write less, which literally dumbs them down: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.... https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264763007_Handwriti... (You can find lots of research on this, there's no controversy here.)

Somewhat less of a profound problem is the extreme amount of pollution: https://pirg.org/edfund/resources/chromebook-churn-report-hi...

My kid has brought his third Chromebook in just a few years from school. We are all going to pay for all this, while the big tech generates billions of profits and the whole planet is marching towards tech feudalism.

This case isn't about whether kids use keyboards or not. It's about whether they use Chromebooks.
