"During a discussion hosted by Senator Bernie Sanders, Iranian journalist and analyst Negar Mortazavi criticized what she described as uneven coverage of the conflict in the United States media.

"Die österreichische Datenschutzbehörde (DSB) hat in einer Entscheidung festgestellt, dass Microsoft 365 Education Schüler illegal trackt und Daten von Schüler:innen auch für eigene Zwecke verwendet. Der Software-Riese hat auch das Recht auf Auskunft bei Microsoft 365 Education ignoriert."

"Während der COVID-Pandemie stellten viele Schulen schnell auf die „Cloud” um und Big Tech lieferte umgehend „Schulversionen” ihrer Produkte. Dabei schob Microsoft jedoch die gesamte Verantwortung für die Einhaltung der Datenschutzgesetze auf die Schulen und nationalen Behörden ab – die jedoch kaum oder gar keine tatsächliche Kontrolle über die Verwendung der Schülerdaten in der Cloud haben. Lokale Schulen haben normalerweise nicht die Verhandlungsmacht, um sich gegen Microsoft durchzusetzen – und müssen auch rechtswidrige Verträge akzeptieren, wenn sie die Microsoft Cloud nutzen wollen."

Back-to-school in 2026 could look very different in Europe: France proposes banning social media for under-15s and restricting phones in high schools to curb screen time and protect well-being. 🎒
Key questions remain on enforcement, privacy, and open access to information. Safety and accountability must guide any rollout. 📵

What's that sound?
High school students in the South are taking more collective action against ICE than the grown ass adults, politicians and cops?

Hey internet friends. My oldest is a Junior and got their class ring last night. His school had a whole event / ceremony for their class.
I didn't grow up with this at all. One person in my graduating class got a class ring and there was no ceremony, no fanfare, nothing.
Is this a thing others have seen? Ceremonies where class rings are presented?
If you went to High School in the US, did you have a ceremony at school presenting class rings?

…#RFKJr himself did not attend the event, but his wife, the actor #CherylHines, received loud applause at a dinner Saturday night & headlined a roster of *luminaries* of what supporters call the “medical freedom” movement: Florida’s top #health ofcl who recently said the state would move to end most #school #vaccine mandates, along with an array of *physicians* & activists who have been discredited by mainstream #medicine.
In April, the #Trump admin abruptly froze planned federal #research #funding for the #university. The govt had been scrutinizing #Cornell after accusing it of racial discrimination & antisemitism, & the university acknowledged receiving dozens of stop-work orders.
University leaders made clear that the #school was feeling extraordinary financial strain. The university has been considering issuing about $1 billion in bonds.

#Cornell University reached an agreement with the #Trump admin Friday that would restore hundreds of millions in federal #funding to the #university, acc/to university & govt ofcls.
