New Mexico’s attorney general is suing Google for allegedly spying on school children through the company’s education-focused Chromebooks. However, the tech giant says the lawsuit gets the facts all wrong.

According to the state’s attorney general, Hector Balderas, Google has been violating a federal privacy law by harvesting the students' information without obtaining parental consent. As a result, he’s demanding it cease the practice and pay a fine.
