Online meetings and GDPR
<p>If a tutor asks someone to use an online service for doing class meetings could a student have just sued the tutor  saying that he must take liability of the fact that he is forcing every one to accept the terms of a service and privacy policy of the website(the website used for video conferencing).<strike>Moreover even if the student agrees the tutor has not forced him to accept still as the tutor is sending links he will be liable for any processing done by the video conferencing company by b posting a link to it</strike>.How do tutors avoid this liability?</p>

<h2>Complying with a contract can require you to enter another contract</h2>
<p>For example, when I hire a contractor I can require them to have public and product liability (or any other) insurance - that requires them to enter a contract. Or, I can require my builder to engage a particular plumber as a subcontractor.</p>
<p>Or I can require my student to enter a particular software licence.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to do this, don’t enter the contract with the tutor’s organisation.</p>

<p>There is no &quot;liability&quot; for requiring a student to sign up for and use a particular video conference service to tale a particular course. The tutor (or school) mat impose such a requirement if s/he so chooses. The student's only remedy, if the student objects to using the servile, is not to take the course. If the tutor is an employee, then the employer's (school's) policies might be relevant.</p>
