Remove Mobile Zone extension from chrome web store.

The Issue

This chrome extension "provides visibility into student internet access in the classroom.
Mobile Zone is for schools that want to "protect students". Mobile Zone enforces your school internet policies and encourages smart online behaviours.

Mobile Zone provides teachers with online classroom tools using our Classwize product. Teachers can focus their entire class to an application or single Website. Teachers watch students screens, send messages and lock screens to gain back attention."- Quote by Devs.

It has a 1 star review on Google Chrome from students and parents. But here are a few problems as listed in reviews.  Number 1 top complaint " This feels like an invasion of privacy.  Also I recently learned that they might be able to see through you cameras (With them off.)  ALSO, did you read the privacy policy? It says the extension has access to your name, age, email address, you REAL  ADDRESS, your search history, and much more. Also did you see the part in the description where it said ¨Mobile Zone Extension provides visibility into student internet access in the classroom." WELL IT CAN ALSO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT HOME.

According to google policy google play doesn't allow sites that block you from uninstalling an item,but that is exactly what this app does!!!!!  

Another one.  Lets teachers invade students privacy, lets them block websites. And doesn't let students on a normal computer remove it, even if they arent on a chromebook. Im on my normal computer half of the time, and its not fair that even when im not on my chromebook, they can still see what im doing.

Do I need to go on? The point is this app violates privacy on so many levels which is why it should be removed.
