Google software used for education not secure enough, Ministers say

NL Times  

Google products used in education to facilitate distance learning are not secure enough and using these products entails too great a privacy risk, Education Ministers Ingrid van Engelshoven and Arie Slob wrote in a letter to parliament. According to Slob and Van Engelshoven, educational institutions have "no or insufficient control" over their own data if they use these Google products. The Ministers' goal is that Google change its policy so that schools and other education institutions can continue to use the Google products. For the time being, civil servants will not use Google Workspace, Minister Ferdinand Grapperhaus of Justice and Security said in another letter to parliament.
