Teach your students to avoid 3rd-party surveillance-based APIs/components. Teach them to de-centre themselves… to build tools owned and controlled by the people who use them.

Please try if you need your daily dose of museum feeling!

I can see the company saying "no, can't be done, because liability and testing and blah blah blah."
