Regulation, Privacy, and Policy

Education is one of the most regulated markets a technology company can enter. The customers are often public bodies, the users are often children, the money often comes from government, and the product affects a public good. Regulation decides who can buy, what data can be collected, how a product can be marketed, whether federal aid can flow through it, and in some countries whether the business may exist at all. This chapter is an orientation, not legal advice; rules change often.
