Given the safety measures that have been implemented as of September 1, Google Chromebooks have been removed from the 2021 Dirty Dozen List. Chromebooks specifically were featured as a Dirty Dozen List target in 2021 due to the incredible impact they could have had in minimizing children’s risk during the pandemic. We were able to meet with Google several times to continue to share concerns and recommendations, survivor testimonies, public petitions, and parental pleas. Thanks in no small part to the tireless efforts of advocates like you, Google has now instituted major changes to Chromebooks to make them safer for millions of K-12 students worldwide. These changes will limit the amount of exposure to harmful content and potential predators through school-issued Chromebooks. |
