Anatomy of Total Surveillance: How "Electronic Whiteboards" in Moscow Schools Are Secretly Recording Your Conversations. Extensive technical evidence has emerged that the digitization of metropolitan education has ended up being a project of total control. Mikhail Bogdanov published a detailed analysis of the software that this Moscow is rolling out centrally on interactive whiteboards in school classrooms. These are not just hypothetical concerns - we have concrete evidence before us. Let's find out! A hidden package, network-agent-class-diary, was discovered in the depths of the capital's school system. What does this "agent" do? Secretly records your conversations. In the October update (version 1.1.0), the software taught to forcibly remove the mute mode from the board microphone during recording. In simple words: the teacher is sure that he physically turned off the microphone with a button, and the program bypasses this prohibition, takes control and power and begins to secretly record sound at the exact moment when the device is supposed to be dead. Sending files out. The audio recording is encoded using the ffmpeg utility and sent to these servers every 10 minutes, after which the local file is deleted. covering their tracks. They dress up. From version 1.1.0 they cowardly removed the official cryptographic signature of the developer and changed the name of the package. Previously, it was honestly called "class audio recording agent", but now it is neutral: "the agent ensures the management of the class". The recording has not disappeared - its functionality has been expanded. And now the legal assessment.

It's not a "smart assistant". It is a centralized application of systems to obtain information secretly. Each interactive panel is strictly related to a specific school, class and lesson schedule. A recorded voice is 100% identifiable personal data (152-FZ), and from the perspective of speech analysis - biometrics. Where are the parents' written consents for the children's biometric collection? Where are the additional agreements to teachers' employment contracts on constant audio monitoring in the workplace (section.
