Australian universities and spyware
So, here's my story, quite strange. I wanted to study a new bachelor's degree in Australia and checked which universities give me the option to study online. I was reviewing and I was interested in EIT or Macquarie (this one maybe part-time, they have some online classes). I don't use Google or Microsoft and I was checking the software requirements, what I must install and all this. Reviewing carefully, I noticed that in 2015 they implemented spyware software, as they would like to call it differently, the name is Iris Invigilate. I went to review the page, I read everything they claim to be, it comes from Microsoft (different clicks to find this information, if anyone has more please leave it for me). Anyway, the amount of data it collects is simply terrifying, and apparently 47 universities have it, but I can't read which universities those are, and among its clients is also Macquarie. How have all these bastards managed to infect even the most hidden corners of education? Now I have to look for other options that don't mean I have to leave them all my biometric data. I didn't find too much information about this. Just them trying to convince me that it's to prevent students from committing fraud! Ah, and the pearl: they've blocked me! I can't access their page anymore.
Idk how to post screenshots (first post ever) :/
