This is pretty big (but almost entirely symbolic, because Google still has all the data): https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/google/denmark-orders-schools-to-stop-sending-student-data-to-google/ But lots of folks wonder why it took so long. And I wonder why Microsoft isn't getting the same censure. Here in Aotearoa, we need to seriously reconsider the digital colonisation of our tamariki as a result of horrible decisions by our Ministry of Education (who're actively funding it).
