  • In one Denmark school district, Chromebooks are banned along with Google Workspace.
  • The ban is due to Google’s data policies, which allegedly violate the GDPR.
  • Security officials are confident this ban would spread across the entire country.

Chromebooks dominate the education market all around the world. The machines are simple, inexpensive, and more secure than most Windows-based systems, making them ideal for schools.

However, Google could be facing some serious trouble in Denmark as far as Chromebooks go. According to TechCrunch, Chromebooks are banned in at least one Danish school district, and the security researchers responsible for the ban are confident it will spread across the entire country.
