The current digital educational system is dominated by tech giants. Fundamental rights, like the privacy, freedom, and sovereignty of children, parents, and educators are insufficiently secured. Ed-tech is mainly closed source and full of vendor lock-ins. Products are either overpriced, harvesting data, or both. The time to replace surveillance capitalist based Ed-tech by ethical open source alternatives is now.
