I smell a ten-figure fine cooking in the kitchen of the EU.

Poor Gestapo, they’ll have to scrape Facebook for their Orwellian products instead of getting the data spoon-fed to them ;(

When I last tried Mint a year or so ago, the onboarding told me how to set up automatic Timeshift snapshots.

They were always collected when not in use. We don’t get personal devices, we either go to the computer room, where every screen can be seen by the teacher at once a la panopticon, or we get a trolley full of laptops that we hand in at the end of the lesson. You can also BYOD that isn’t a smartphone, so long as you don’t use it during lesson time when the teacher doesn’t permit it.

At my middle school, we also banned smartphones throughout the whole building. You were meant to either leave yours at home or put it in your locker when you got there. It’s a lot easier to chat with people during the breaks when they’re not face-down in their phone screen.
