I can imagine. It was so complicated. If I didn’t understand English or was using an older phone or had a disability of some kind.. I’m not sure it would have been possible. It shouldn’t be like this at all.

Just had to apply for a provisional driving licence for my son. And what an experience the gov one app is.. A full face flashing scan like you are being abducted by aliens, scanning your passport chip with your phone.. to verify a 15 year old.. I wonder how many people struggle with it.

But also, the entire school ecosystem is now a catalyst for harm with 💯 attendance and “turn to talk” etc. ableism All The Way Down . Just with pretty slides and some fairy lights as “I’m their miss honey”. Babes you run the chokey

I WISH that education would actually understand what inclusion and accessibility is. Almost every social media post or conference talk I see shows a shocking lack of basic understanding of even fonts for dyslexia. But also wildly “ busy” screens and walls as “fun slides/class”

The U.K. is decades behind where it should be for white people to be educated on racism and harms of all kinds, we have made white comfort and “unconscious bias” a thing. Instead of change via sitting uncomfortably. Now we might get Farage as PM

The French students are just the first to protest. And look how the state is fighting them. Look who supports them And ask yourself what you will do when young people near you are out on the streets being tear-gassed.

I KNOW! And yet I have had “privacy” people here defend it. There is no reason at all to take biometrics in an educational setting. It is purely a data grab and sold to schools as cheap. I bet nation states love having millions of fingerprints because schools won’t do lanyards

Shell @risu.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Remember that we hear about corporate cybersecurity incidents but education ones are hidden. And we are being conditioned to accept our data as just lost, out there, not confidential. Which isn’t ok. Especially when education data is also biometrics.

Even worse, the email ( about bringing an umbrella) began “don’t take this the wrong way and I know I’m a loser “ Which irritates me so much from a comms perspective in soooo many ways. But having to read it six times .. how is this person SLT?

Shell @risu.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
A member of senior staff at my children’s school sent an email via the school app- about the rain tomorrow and bringing an umbrella. Sigh. And the app has now sent me that email 6 times, 3 times for each child. All this AI and edtech and we can’t do basic comms.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj... What I find sad is that this is just another day in the life of consumers: security incidents that leak data that they had secured with MFA and good passwords. But the companies they trusted did none of that . And that’s why no one listens to cyber awareness training

I’ve had fantastic femme students who noped out of eng or IT careers because they got negged from the age of 9. All because how dare a GIRL be better than my son who lays about, does some code and expects a software eng career to fall into his lap.

Young people read the news and watch the world around them, if you want them to pursue STEM careers, or any career, make sure you have a sector that they can see themselves safely working in. That’s not tech or stem for sure.

I have seen this research , if you can call it that, already in education with the FFT saying that we can assess ability based on genetics and then trying to cover themselves on the eugenics of it all.

NCA has told schools multiple times this year to keep images offline due to this risk, but schools are ignoring it for the most part Also if caregivers are told to do a thing, schools should model that. Or else we’d be saying oh ok Johnny, have that red bull and here’s your ps4 since you screamed

If you consider that every image of a child uploaded to the internet has already been used to make an AI image, because it will have been, perhaps that might make you think twice ? Perhaps schools should set a better example

Shell @risu.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
And appallingly, schools are still uploading images of children to their websites and social media channels. Because nothing matters more to schools than clicks and likes and “engagement”. But we banned phones in schools, so we care about children. Or maybe we care about children recording harm..

www.theguardian.com/education/20... Many schools are not safe, including the one you might send your children to or work in. No wonder children have EBSA. Schools can be catalysts for harm and we should all be concerned about this.

Cybersecurity LinkedIn remains undefeated. Also, calling other humans “meat proxies” is pretty telling, and is exactly why cybersecurity has lost any real audience it had. Good riddance too.
Day one of CruiseCon and the opening CISO panel contained a line that made me mutter the words "Hell yeah!"
"For 20 years we said don't click. Now we give agents permission to click."
Talk about people switching their brains off, becoming a Meat Proxy. The fact that there is no HR team to keep the Al in check.
So much of this is about trust, humans and how cyber isn't a tech problem anymore but a board problem, a worldwide economic problem.
So many mic-drop moments and it's only day one!

To be fair, they aren’t as bad as their friends who sit on YouTube all day and are convinced everyone on that app or Facebook is a savant. I worry less about my children online ( and I worry a LOT) than I do about people over 50 on the electric internet

I think this is a much wider problem than just media. Which is bad enough. I no longer allow any image or video of me to be used for anything beyond an ID badge at work, because I have seen ten year old videos and photos used to make “Christmas staff messages” etc. Often edited with AI too.
