Stop the use of Blocksi - Student privacy matters!

The Issue

Blocksi, unlike GoGuardian, is considered to be harmful and leaves many students uncomfortable and restricted. The reviews it gets in Google Extensions says it all. It's not just students either; it's also teachers that are also unhappy with this extension. Over-blocking, no customization for different needs, and it's negative impact on student learning is just a few of the complaints. It's gotten to the point where there are reviews made by possible bots or fakes to keep this extension on Google. It isn't user-friendly even for teachers as it takes multiple steps and is awfully long. It can be used to invade student privacy as it can be used even at after school hours. Need I say more?

If things don't change, it would be possible that our children or future students might suffer to Blocksi as well. Unhappy and feeling restricted. If we do remove this by some chance, it would be a better school experience for everyone.

Like I stated earlier, it has gotten to the point where there are bots giving five-stars to keep this on Google. This shows just how many people this is affecting and unhappy with Blocksi. Either we remove this completely, or we switch to a different extension. Students Matter!
