Looks like it only applies to Office365 online and Google docs, not the installed MS Office suite. The fact that these companies are US based means there is no guarantee that student’s data isn’t accessed by the US government, which seems to be the main issue.

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social if students use cryptpad/only office/nextcloud that'd be amazing

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social let's hope that turns into policy before the corporate lobbying machines mobilise.

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social that is basically the status quo in Germany for the past years. It would be nice if they would invest in alternatives. Even if it is indirect through education and training. People wouldn't be afraid of alternatives like nextcloud once they have used it. From my perspective it is not enough to ban products from companies that make money with your data we should also start promoting alternatives.

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social I hope this doesn’t mean schools switch en masse to local MS Office … would feel like a step in the wrong direction. Libreoffice FTW

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social The right decision! In Germany, we could really learn a lot from this bold but necessary move.

@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social hmmm, no google docs ? i wonder what dtudents collaborating on work will use instead, being able to be multiple people editing a single file at the same time without needing to put mondy on it, is something all students generally want. Definitely better than what we had where 1 student only put everyone else's things in the document.
