GoGuardian

Goguardian people, if you see this please delete your website. It is literally spyware used by teachers and school administrators that supposedly "keeps kids on task". The kids at my school play unblocked games all class period long and if you don't belive me look up "unblocked games" on any chromebook with this installed. There will always be those few websites that go unnoticed. Your website is stupid and doesn't do it's job.

As someone who is in school, I can say that my school uses GoGuardian. However, this app made me have trust issues as this app made me think that there was someone watching me everywhere. If I need to search something up for my assignment, NO. GoGuardian gave me trust issues because now I am paranoid that GoGuardian will close my tab for doing by WORK.

Most schools use GoGuardian, and that's bad because they are not able to trust students enough to do their work. However, teachers should be able to walk around the room and check if their students are on appropriate sites and doing the things that they need to do...not only that, but there is something called History...

Overall, this app is HORRIBLE.

Why do teachers need this I mean at this point they are getting rid of the fun in school, they watch us, and block everything we go on, and can talk to us I feel like I'm being stalked every time i open up a Chromebook this needs to go

Do NOT install this on your Chromebook/Mack/PC. It is nearly impossible to get rid of, you can't alter what it sells to advertisers, (which is everything from your browsing history, to your ACTUAL FACE.) and it uses your webcam without your permission. For some reason, none of this is illegal. It's horrifically invasive, blocking everything from YouTube, to school operated or used websites such as Google Classroom or Teams. The user-interface for unblocking websites is incredibly clunky and needlessly complicated. Even if you unblock a certain website, GoGuardian seemingly re-blocks them at will. Do not support this business.

Apparently, this is active when at home, which is an invasion of privacy somewhat, but I'm on task, working on my things. Too many restrictions active.

TL; DR: It's okay.

Goguardian blocks things that don't even make sense. My school blocked music because it was on youtube. I can't even relax on a test. And from what I read, it can see your webcam. If you have goguardian, just use a different computer. It also videos that aren't inappropriate. In my 5th grade, I searched something sewercidal and then my mom and dad get an email to get therapy. (I was wondering what it was, I was a stupid child.) And now I can barely watch anything on youtube. Its annoying and I cant listen to certain music due to it.

So here is my review of go guardian
1. It spies on us every minute and I'm writing this in my classroom and it's like the company does not know what privacy is and it's a pain to everyone.

2. Ok look we get it, we can't read Naegami (my fav ship)/favorite ship fanfics in school or anything else but damn no need to spy on us at home.

3. OK, I'm just trying to do a project, but there is no need to block the website for said project.

Anyways I hate this damn app and wish it could ₡ itself

Edit: Ok storytime: SO one time I was searching up something sewersidal ( no triggering allowed) and then a week later the counselor called me and we had this talk I was embarrassed paranoid and mad it made me feel like I was stalked ( istg if someone says that's an overstatement-) It makes me feel horrible in general I hate it and I wish it could ₡ itself

Ok look I'm trying to watch the movie right but all streaming services are blocked

Absolutely horrible they be blocking absolutely everything they dont even allow us to watch youtube anymore this shi is bs and whoever made it should kts

What happened to privacy? Like sure you should block inappropriate stuff, but imagine blocking videos because they're in the category of music, movies, gaming, etc.? What? That's just stupid. Also it's very dumb for like blocked keywords, like sure that can be good bc of what children might be looking up on the internet but DAMN TF SOME HARMLESS WORDS R BLOCKED FOR?

HOW IS LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT HARMFUL AND STUFF? WHY IS IT BLOCKED BC THE CATEGORY IS MUSIC? Ain't nothing wrong with that.

(note: the photos r like examples // This is from a student and from experience, the district downloaded it in the chromebooks so yeah.)

INVADING MY PRIVACY WITH THIS VIRUS ITS TOXIC AS@#$% GET THIS OUT OF KIDS LIFE IT CAN SPY ON YOU OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL DONT USE ITS SPYWARE

GOGUARDIAN IS THE WORST F#CKING XTENSION EVER. TEACHERS ABUSE IT SO MUCH. IT BLOCKS SCHOOL APPROPIATE SITES AND ALLOWS TEACHERS TO WATCH YOUR SCREEN. THIS IS JUST AN INVASION OF PRIVACY. ALSO TEACEHRS CLOSE TABS AND CAN TURN ON YOUR CAMERA. AND IT WATCHES YOUR F#CKING LOCATION. IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD. F#CK GOGUARDIAN F#CK GOGUARDIAN F#CK GOGUARDIAN F#CK GOGUARDIAN F#CK GOGUARDIAN F#CK GOGUARDIAN. IF I WAS PRESIDENT THE FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS BAN THIS EXTENSION

Go Guardian is an invasion of student's privacy. It blocks freaking NEW TABS. The worst thing is that Go Guardian tracks your location without the student's permission, which is ILLEGAL. BAD BAD BAD. Whenever my teacher turns on go guardian, I feel like kicking my computer out the window. DO NOT USE. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL WEBSITE. Also it sees your search history D:

Yea, I really can't say much about GoGuardian just that it sucks and blocks a lot of important resource websites and is very frustrating EVEN FOR TEACHERS and I don't believe in any of those stupid 5-star reviews Goguardian needs to be taken down.

GOGARDIAN SUCKS! It blocks every single thing ever! I tried to go on Nitro Type, WHICH IS ONLY USED FOR TYPING, and it was blocked. It is also a spyware. Teachers can get your address from this. This is illegal. 1 star. Teachers just want your personal stuff. DO BETTER.

This extension is a COMPLETE violation of the Fourth Amendment, and a violation of privacy, no matter what y cannot remove it, and before all the teachers and teacher's pets spam me, $#*! off, your opinion on the awful creation is invalid, thank you for your time, good day.

Advait Shinde the@#$%* created this stupid site that blocks youtube and other game sites.It invades privacy and teachers can use it to close tabs and they can disable browsing

I was writing a report about go gaurdian and found out it watchs you at home and they watch you AT ALL TIMES. Today my friend was writing a different report and on my teachers screen it said he looked up something inerproperiate but he did nothing. Please we all have to work together to get go gaurdian banned.
