New Mexico’s attorney general alleges in a lawsuit that Google is spying on K-12 students who use is educational software in the cloud:

“The consequences of Google’s tracking cannot be overstated: Children are being monitored by one of the largest data-mining companies in the world, at school, at home, on mobile devices, without their knowledge and without the permission of their parents,” according to the suit, filed Thursday by Hector Balderas, the [NM] state’s attorney general.

In just a few years, Google “infiltrated more than half the nation’s primary and secondary schools by offering a ‘free’ web-based service” that gives kids access to applications including the company’s email, calendar and drive services, according to the state’s suit.
