Goguardian is the worst spyware ever.

Goguardian is the worst spyware ever. Whoever made goguardian, take my advice, go fuk yourself. I will see myself out the window, no goodbye goguardian go fuk yourself.

Let’s set things straight.

Let’s set things straight. GoGuardian isn't some illegal spyware – it's totally allowed by law. If your school gives you a Chromebook or other device, they can put GoGuardian on it. It's their gadget, not yours. I’m not a big fan of spyware either, but that’s just the way it is. Schools have the right to use it. So if you’re upset about it, maybe try paying attention in class. But yeah, I get it – sometimes you just wanna relax with a game. The real issue is how many people complain about GoGuardian. It’s kinda silly.

DEAR TEACHERS,

DEAR TEACHERS, I'm the vice-principal at Rocklin Academy Gateway in Rocklin, CA. I hope all schools and districts are doing good. I know about lots of educational softwares, and I agree with their reasons. Generally, they help students learn and do their work. At our school, we tried many softwares before. We ended up using Goguardian. But it was a wrong choice. Unlike others, Goguardian doesn't keep data private. Goguardian, like other monitoring softwares, raises worries about privacy and safety. One reason why Go-Guardian may not be safe is because personal data might be used wrongly. Although GoGuardian is supposed to watch students for educational reasons, there's a chance that private stuff could be seen by people who shouldn't. This could be personal chats, what students browse, or even passwords. Also, there have been times when Goguardian got hacked or broken into, which meant that user data got out. This shows how risky it is to use such software because even the best security can be attacked by cyber threats. Moreover, Goguardian might make a feeling of being watched all the time in schools. Students might not like knowing that everything they do is being watched, which could make trust between teachers and students worse. To sum up, while GoGuardian might be good for watching students and keeping them safe online, it also has big risks for privacy and security. Schools and teachers need to think carefully about whether to use this software and make sure they protect students' privacy and security properly.

Don't install this on your Chromebook/Mac/PC.

Don't install this on your Chromebook/Mac/PC. It's nearly impossible to get rid of, you can't change 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. Don't support this bussiness.

GoGuardian shouldn't of existed

GoGuardian shouldn't of existed in the first place. It limits our freedom in every way. Whenever I try to play a game, the teacher shuts my tab. They blocked Poki, Addicting Games, and all other games too. If I could find a way to finish GoGuardian, I would. Advait Shinde made a huge mistake. Why is GoGuardian even on all our Chromebooks...

This app is really not smart.

This app is really not smart. It blocks websites that are okay for school and I can't even watch the videos I want to watch. I tried to watch sports, but the app blocked it. What's wrong with sports anyway? It even blocks games that are okay for school. It's a very annoying app. I wish someone would hack it.

I'm saddened to say that GoGuardian

I'm saddened to say that GoGuardian is really disappointing. The way it's used by some teachers feels really restrictive. It's frustrating when they block everything without even checking. Teachers should be more aware and not rely solely on GoGuardian.

GoGuardian seems like a spyware software

GoGuardian seems like a spyware software for schools. It blocks useful websites and records keystrokes, which is illegal. Schools need to stop using it and government should ban it.

Horrible, just horrible.

Horrible, just horrible. Teachers keep fighting over banning each others learning games and other tools, and it's super easy to get around too.

Well, honestly, GoGuardian

Well, honestly, Goguardian seems like a headache. It just blocks everything on my computer, making it pretty much useless. It's like this annoying presence that's always watching me, which feels creepy. Plus, trying to remove it is a nightmare. It's as if the people behind it have no clue what they're doing. The school district's insistence on keeping it locked down is just adding insult to injury. I've resorted to using my home computer at school just to avoid dealing with it. Can someone please make GoGuardian disappear for good?

GoGuardia is an utterly dismal and

GoGuardia is an utterly dismal and poorly conceived computer application that stands as a testament to the depths of human folly. I'd prefer reclining on a filthy McDonald's bench soaked in stale Diet Coke than subject myself to the traumatic ordeal of navigating this abhorrent webpage. Advocating for the prohibition of GoGuardia seems like a reasonable response to spare others from its sheer inadequacy.
