Denmark bans Chromebooks and Google Workspace in schools over data transfer risks

Denmark is effectively banning Google's services in schools, after officials in the municipality of Helsingør were last year ordered to carry out a risk assessment around the processing of personal data by Google.


I know I have no intention of ever using one.

I *may* get a chrome book in the future simply because I really don’t need a full featured laptop however having something more powerful than my iPad and still being portable would be helpful for some situations.

Yeah Chromebooks are pretty dumb IMO. I would rather have a laptop of some sort that is easy to install Linux on.

It's great for K12 (if you really want to issue laptops to all kids) because they are super cheap and easy to maintain. Hard to get viruses unlike Windows. It makes the IT staff lives a lot easier.

It doesn't say in the article what the Town? plans to do if they don't use Chromebooks. Maybe they will go back to not issuing laptops at all.
