... A Virginia-based federal judge rejected Liberty University's motion to dismiss claims that it allowed digital advertising giants to access students' sensitive information, including grades and prayer requests. "It is difficult to imagine information more personal and more sensitive than the details of a prayer request," Senior U.S. District Judge Norman Moon, a Bill Clinton appointee, said. "It is also conceivable that some people would wish to closely guard their grades from public view." Arizona native Kyler Lyons sued his university after discovering a connection between the university's student portal and third parties, including Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Alphabet. Lyons accuses the university of transmitting his and a proposed class of other students' highly sensitive data he says includes prayer requests that students post anonymously for other students and faculty at the Baptist university to add to their prayer lists. ...

So, a Christian-oriented university seems to be selling its students' innermost thoughts to the highest bidder?
Because students "agreed" to "information sharing?"
Regardless of what the students may or may not have agreed to, selling of such information just seems to be wrong at a university.
