Results: Web Can Surveys
Published on 11/05/2018
There are more and more surveys that are either requesting or requiring the use of a webcam in order to observe the emotional expressions of the survey taker. I think I have a webcam on at least one of my computers, but I don't use it. In fact, I taped over it after hearing about a controversy where officials at Lower Merion School District near Philadelphia ,PA were sued over spying on students and their families inside their homes with Web cameras installed in pupil laptops.
