A new government website that is part of a package for all secondary school starters has been launched this week. This 'innovative science resource' site will not allow you access unless you grant it control over the webcam and microphone on your computer.
Government ministers are excited about this new opportunity. "We are really excited about this new opportunity" said a government minister. "It will condition a whole generation of children to the idea that they should allow us control of their home computers."

Disconnect them first before logging on. Simples!
I never knowingly allow the internet access to my webcam or mic and the site just will not run without them.
Well, that calls for a campaign to hoist them on their own petard, doesn't it?
"I'm a poor disadvantaged student who can't afford a webcam or microphone, why is the government denying me access to a vital educational resource? Boo hoo"
And if that fails, there's the 'are the people with access to the webcam feed properly vetted? Let's see those certificates of Governmental Approved Non-Noncedom then!' gambit...
