  "textContent": "Many US colleges demand applicants run a nonfree program, Naviance, whose purpose is to collect data about them.\n\nTo that injustice, the program adds the annoyance of ads.\n\nSome public school systems demand that students run this surveillance package for many years. But running it even once is an injustice.\n\nOf course, many of those school systems demand that students run other nonfree programs. Each one is an injustice; each one deserves fighting back. One injustice doesn't become less evil merely because there are others.",
