UK government is monitoring teachers’ online activity and recording criticism of government policies and Osted – via expose-news.com
A startling revelation indicates that the UK government has substantially amplified its surveillance of the social media activity of educators. Ranging from leading education experts to teaching assistants and librarians earning modest salaries, the magnifying glass of surveillance closely monitors posts criticising education policies.
The discovery was made by The Observer, revealing that the Department for Education is keeping extensive records of such posts, something that Reclaim The Net has previously covered.
This revelation highlights the burning issues of free speech and censorship, causing widespread disquiet among the educational community. The surveillance of educators’ online activity portrays a scenario where dissent or criticism of government policy is not only monitored but also catalogued, potentially affecting the educators’ professional careers.
Educators across the UK have demonstrated a wave of shock and anger in response to the discovery. Many have submitted Subject Access Requests (“SARs”), a Right to Access provision within the General Data Protection Regulation, requiring the Department of Education to disclose the information it holds under their names. These educators found file lengths spanning up to 60 pages, documenting their tweets and comments opposing the government’s policies and criticising schools’ inspectorate, Ofsted.
Nikki Cleveland, a higher-level teaching assistant and primary school librarian, was astounded to find that even her tweets concerning issues such as inadequate funding for school libraries and criticisms of Ofsted had been flagged and stored by the Department. Her discovery has only raised her cynicism towards the government and the Department of Education, questioning their apathy towards the challenges schools face daily.
This disturbing surveillance operation extends to more than just educators. Jon Biddle, a primary school teacher and English lead, reported that “dozens of other teachers” he knew had also discovered their accounts were under scrutiny. The scope and depth of this surveillance have led to growing scepticism about the Department’s priorities and resource allocation.
Cases have also surfaced of the Department attempting to silence voices critical of government policy. Early years specialists Ruth Swailes and Aaron Bradbury have previously faced attempts from the Department to cancel their conference due to their earlier criticisms. Similarly, Dr. Mine Conkbayir, a renowned early childhood author, was allegedly threatened with funding withdrawal for a conference she was scheduled to keynote, due to her criticisms. As she recounts, the Department also attempted to curtail her talk duration and verify her speech contents, pulling the strings of academic dialogue.
In response to these revelations, the Department has chosen to remain largely opaque, stating that it would not be appropriate to comment on individual cases.

Dispatches from the Asylum 
most of the people in government carrying out that suveillance and censorship thinking they are doing a great thing for the master! at the same time they are carrying out tyranny unlike anything ever seen. and willing to do so for a paycheck.
it is people’s willingness to serve monsters that makes the world an open air prison. think of how many jobs are done carrying out evil and the person doing it says….oh, i am only doing my JOB! yeah…paid to do harm to others and willing to do it.
it isn’t the government, the policy makers, the law makers whatever you want to call them that do the harm. it is people they hire for a paycheck and those people are the ones willing to carry it out willing to do it.!! no matter how tyranical or destructive or how annoying they will do those jobs willingly.
you will never see a king, or a president or a congress critter carrying out their orders….always the people they seek to do damage to are doing it. teachers damaging childrens mind because they are told to. doctors willing to do harm to people because they follow protocols, treat illness and keep it going indefinitely rather then find a ‘cure’. county tax collectors, city workers, employees of corporations that poison foods, create products that don’t work or are toxic. the level of evil is very deep and people never once ask if the job they do for someone else is the ‘right ” one to do is it doing harm and are you taking a paycheck to do that damage?
government would not exist at all without people willing to carry out its wishes. there would be none. and yet we are at war not with governments but with people willing to serve it! at countless levels even willing to kill others for it. layer after layer after layer.
even a small job can do harm. do you climb the corporate ladder and step on the face of the person below you in order to climb that ladder for more money…more power…what are people willing to do for that dollar or computer entry digital currency in the form of a visa? is a limit to what people will do? we are seeing there isn’t a limit….they will carry out any order no matter how evil or destructive it might be.
even to putting people under a watch because they protest their treatment at the hands of monsters. just doing their jobs!! yeah and why are they willing to do that ? so many jobs people are willing to do and yet if they all stopped doing it the rulers would have no one to serve them and their decrees would be light flatulence in the wind. stinky but harmless.
