Banning unconstitutional filtering services

The Issue

When a student from Mountain View Jr High went to look at how spyware affects people for an assignment, they were met with this message. Access denied. This webpage has been blocked due to keyword filtering. For more details, contact your administrator. Mad, the student went to look at other websites. all were blocked. Desperate, they searched up spywere directly. Blocksi blocked their search. An article here https://www.wired.com/story/inside-americas-school-internet-censorship-machine/

Has been blocked due to the fact it puts Blocksi and Spywere in the same sentence. Filtering at school on a school Chromebook is fine, but it continues at home, you are not allowed to bring your own computer. Blocksi also continuously records your screen, so you have no privacy. It also can track you and install itself on other devices without your consent.  Please Sign to help get rid of blocksi. If we don't act now, everything might be censored.

 

To make matters worse, Weber school district has started blocking coding websites used for classes because students have coded games one them. They have blocked the two most helpful sites to students, Open Processing and CodeSandbox. We understand that filtering is for our safety, but it has become a hinderence to our learning and a invasion of our privacy.
