Is Google spying on your child at school?

Is Google spying on students using the laptops that it sells to schools?

That’s what a nonprofit privacy group alleges in a complaint filed with the Federal Trade Commission, as reported by Amy Kraft with CBS News. The Electronic Frontier Foundation says Google has been using the “Sync” feature on its Chrome Internet browser to “to track, store and data-mine (for non-advertising purposes) records of all the Internet sites a student visits, search terms used, results clicked on, videos watched on YouTube, and passwords saved.” The Sync feature is the default option on the Chromebook laptops.
