“Spy High,” a documentary on Amazon Prime, explores the 2009 “WebcamGate” scandal in which the Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania covertly took 66,000 images of students, including one of Blake Robbins holding candy mistaken as pills. The film highlights the dangers of student surveillance, privacy issues and racial inequities, especially as digital monitoring has become more prevalent with tools like Gaggle and GoGuardian.
