Funny about the Number 23. After watching it years ago, I still find it everywhere and often. I know it’s probably one of those: “Get a new car then notice that same car everywhere” effects, but still…

Thankfully, some counties are waking up and canceling contracts. However, for the majority of us it’s all too unfortunate.

Let me comment before finishing the article: this is a software’s lack of security problem, not a young teenager’s problem.

The fact they were breached, that’s nothing new. Same goes for everyone’s SSN under the sun, who cares?! The fact that a young person is owning up to it now, they have to punish and make such a big example out of him, it distracts from the failure of big tech…

Edit: another reason not to put all your eggs in one basket. PowerSchool is an American tech company, public on NYSE in 2021, and now owned by Bain Capital… Would you PLEASE THINK OF THOSE INVESTORS!!!

Did you know: you can fully sign out of Google on your phone and still use it? You can download an alt app store like F-Droid for most apps, or use APKeep from EFF to get those certain app installers. Or Aurora store, but I’m less familiar with that, and assume it’s the same principle as APKeep. I also recommend NetGuard to individually handle what apps are allowed to use internet access.

Either way, you may not be able to fully remove Google from Android without a custom ROM, but there’s still a lot you can do.

Maybe Session was doomed from the get go with such high expenses!
