“Go gaurdian”

Jacob S.
3/30/23

It's so good it needs a 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999.999 rating. Because teachers can use it to look at what their students are doing so they will never get on something they aren't supposed to do again.

“Bull$#*!”

This is the worst thing ever!. Imagine I you just came back from a long day of and want to play chess. Chess is not distracting, or bad in fact it helps your brain. NOPE goguardian wants to unneccearciaaly block chess. Goguardian wants to bock nearly every website in the world!. F*cking SH*T

Apparently, this is active when at home, which is an invasion of privacy somewhat, but I'm on task, working on my things. Too many restrictions active.

TL; DR: It's okay.

Goguardian blocks things that don't even make sense. My school blocked music because it was on youtube. I can't even relax on a test. And from what I read, it can see your webcam. If you have goguardian, just use a different computer. It also videos that aren't inappropriate. In my 5th grade, I searched something sewercidal and then my mom and dad get an email to get therapy. (I was wondering what it was, I was a stupid child.) And now I can barely watch anything on youtube. Its annoying and I cant listen to certain music due to it.

So here is my review of go guardian
1. It spies on us every minute and I'm writing this in my classroom and it's like the company does not know what privacy is and it's a pain to everyone.

2. Ok look we get it, we can't read Naegami (my fav ship)/favorite ship fanfics in school or anything else but damn no need to spy on us at home.

3. OK, I'm just trying to do a project, but there is no need to block the website for said project.

Anyways I hate this damn app and wish it could ₡ itself

Edit: Ok storytime: SO one time I was searching up something sewersidal ( no triggering allowed) and then a week later the counselor called me and we had this talk I was embarrassed paranoid and mad it made me feel like I was stalked ( istg if someone says that's an overstatement-) It makes me feel horrible in general I hate it and I wish it could ₡ itself

Ok look I'm trying to watch the movie right but all streaming services are blocked

What happened to privacy? Like sure you should block inappropriate stuff, but imagine blocking videos because they're in the category of music, movies, gaming, etc.? What? That's just stupid. Also it's very dumb for like blocked keywords, like sure that can be good bc of what children might be looking up on the internet but DAMN TF SOME HARMLESS WORDS R BLOCKED FOR?

HOW IS LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT HARMFUL AND STUFF? WHY IS IT BLOCKED BC THE CATEGORY IS MUSIC? Ain't nothing wrong with that.

(note: the photos r like examples // This is from a student and from experience, the district downloaded it in the chromebooks so yeah.)

This extension is a COMPLETE violation of the Fourth Amendment, and a violation of privacy, no matter what y cannot remove it, and before all the teachers and teacher's pets spam me, $#*! off, your opinion on the awful creation is invalid, thank you for your time, good day.

Yea, I really can't say much about GoGuardian just that it sucks and blocks a lot of important resource websites and is very frustrating EVEN FOR TEACHERS and I don't believe in any of those stupid 5-star reviews Goguardian needs to be taken down.

GoGuardian is spyware spying, locking tabes, sending and locking your COMPUTER, if it wasn't made for education I would call it a secutity concern, oh wait IT IS. If ANY security breach is sucsesfull then millions and millions of students would have there tabs gone, there megages raided, there comuters locked.

Goguardian is so bad that my inner skeleton is more hot than the earth's crust. Goguardian is so bad that I need a surplus of garbage bags. Gogardudian so is bda thta my spleling lokos inpmressssiv. Go guardian is so bad that elon musk won't even try to buy it. Goguardian is so bad that this kid from my school named viktor can literally fart it out so loud that the people on the international space station can hear it. Goguardian, I'd give you a bad look, but you already have one. Goguardian is so bad that you can literally make a happy meal cry. I don't think you know how much better this planet would be if you just left and went to Uranus. You are literally the reason why pools need lifeguards. Goguardian, I hope this is helpful, I know these roasts didn't do much with your already existent backlash, but i dont care, i had fun, great job blocking this review website!

GoGuardian Sucks. It mistakenly blocks websites that students need, and teachers cant really do anything because the admins are the ones who block the websites. And teachers can see and manage student's PRIVATE! Info. And they can lock the computers and completly turn off browsing. I get SO annoyed when im RIGHT in the middle of doing something and i just get the "browsing disabled" message. It also tracks things like history and all that. AND IT BLOCKS WEBSITES THAT TEACHERS INSTRUCT FOR STUDENTS TO GO ON, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS.THAT IS SO STUPID AND SO THIS DUMB SOFTWARE SHOULD BE DELETED!

I honestly don't give a crap about the websites being blocked, because if you want to play games, then search up on youtube new websites like https://sites.google.com/view/math-tutor-learning. What really pisses me off is how GoGuardian blocks more than 75% of all videos because of something stupid like BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE KEYWORD COMPILATION OR MUSIC TIKTOK AUTO AND VEHICLES GAMING! FRICK ALL OF THE GOGUARDIAN CREATORS! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH BY BLOCKING ALL WEBSITES BUT HECK YOU GUYS DECIDE THAT YOU CAN BLOCK YOUTUBE! THIS VIOLATES THE 4TH AMENDMENT NO UNREASONABLE SEARCH OR SEIZURE! STUPID STUPID SPYWARE! THERE'S NO FREEDOM OR GOOD EXPERIENCE THROUGH THIS WEBSITE!

Thanks for listening

It is a breach of the law and it gives teachers too much power over their students. Plus it can track your location and look through your webcam and is still on after school hours

GoGuardian is the worst thing to happen to humanity. It is stalking you and blocks literally everything. The only decent thing is that I get a notification when it is on.

This is like a website that takes the freedom of the students away from them. It blocks even the most harmless websites. It blocks videos for being about gaming or just the slightest mention of TikTok. Not to mention how it blocks random videos. One video about a hurricane got blocked for no reason All games on all websites are blocked. We cant even open an incognito window or delete our browsing history. If you search up gun, it's blocked. When researching, it blocks crucial websites with lots of information. It even blocked Wordle Unlimited. Even teachers complain about the locked screen feature. Half of the time it doesn't work for them. Only half of the class gets blocked/locked. This feature is used to stop kids from going on their Chromebooks when they are not supposed to. Kids who close their Chromebooks before the teacher locks them and opens them when their teacher says it's time to use them, they get locked (browsing disabled). You have to reload all of your tabs if that happens. Why does this happen? Well, cuz Go Guardian only allows the unlocking of Chromebooks if they are on/open. The teacher has to select each kid one by one. Overall, Go Guardian is a website that takes all the fun away from Chromebooks and is just annoying.
