Can you believe Blocksi is used by over 12,000 schools in 500 school districts? Blocksi is an app used by teachers to monitor students. It doesn’t just allow teachers to block sites, but also allows them to access what is on students’ screens remotely, giving them an easier way to ensure students are doing their classwork. However, despite the purported number of users, it seems many people, from student to teacher, do not enjoy the app. If Blocksi makes focusing on classwork easier for both parties, what makes it so disliked? First, Blocksi’s filter is heavily restrictive, to the point of making internet browsing unusable. While it does block potentially inappropriate or distracting content, Blocksi also blocks information for common schoolwork topics such as politics, war, and mental health issues such as depression. Depending on the school and the class, the filter may be allowed to overreach and block sites like Google. This overstep in blocking content impedes schoolwork. For example, in 2025, student Aleeza Siddique was told in her Spanish class to research media her teacher had selected from the Spanish network giant Telemundo. “None of it was available to us…the site was completely blocked” (Mathewson). This led to her teacher replacing the more engaging work planned for the day with a less interesting quiz. Blocksi’s intended vibe of safety falls flat for many students, instead creating a feeling of “always watching”. Everett, a student reviewing Blocksi on Trustpilot, states “It causes me mental stress, and blocks things that really don't need to be blocked, and some of my other friends don't have enough money for an at-home computer, so their school Chromebook is their only option, and sometimes they aren't able to complete their assignments because of this stupid crap.” They observe many key issues with Blocksi in this review. Mainly, Blocksi incites stress in students who feel as if they are always being watched. For an application that claims to “empower students,” it does not empower students whatsoever. However, another criticism Everett makes towards Blocksi highlights the targeting Blocksi innately does. Students from lower-income backgrounds who cannot afford computers for home or for school are needlessly targeted by Blocksi more than students from wealthier backgrounds. Students do not deserve to be discriminated against, directly or indirectly. Finally, Blocksi collects significant amounts of data tracking what students do.

This is the ultimate power trip for teachers. They make it seem like gods gift to mankind. On the students end? Absolutely NOT! Blocksi is run by robots. They can take our information and who knows who they are selling it to! The fact that we were TAUGHT IN SCHOOL about trafficking through online data and then you place this on our computers?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO BEHIND THE SCREEN?! This thing is the worst blocks spotify, blooket, literally ANYTHING that could bring someone happiness. I mean yeah I get it your trying to keep kids on task but like putting on a software that possibly sells your information? Is that really keeping us safe like you want? Schools claim to keep is safe to want us to be protected but they put stuff like this on our computers. How do you know they aren't selling our SCHOOL INFORMATION (which in some cases can be VERY personal) to outside buyers?! HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE KEEPING THEIR WORD?! I was reading their reviews and someone wrote a POEM about killing themselves and haunting Blocksi from their grave! How do you expect people WHO ARE KILLING THEMSELVES to enjoy this? How do we know blocksi isn't blocking sights that can SAVE US! YOU! Teachers, administrators, and faculty are slowly killing us. One block at a time YOU ARE KILLING US! Our self confidence our creativity you are killing the very kids you swore to protect. Schools are suppose to be safe not slowly kill us through online blocks. You are throwing us in harsh cold cells like we are some prisoners who deserve nothing more than cold harsh treatment. Remove this. Save us. This is what I would think NORTH KOREA would have but the US?! NO! We need to be saved this needs to be removed sue this company sue anyone who agrees with this. Life is not the same when this is here. Life will NEVER be the same as long as this thing lives. Once I am gone I WILL haunt this from my grave I will make their lives a living hell until they give up and forfeit this war. Give up. Nothing is left for you in this realm. I don't wish you luck and I how you fail slowly and painfully until your forced to give up in disappointment when your actions finally haunt you. Teachers if you claim this is the best thing ever you are WRONG. This traps us holds us hostage and kills us slowly. You deserve the same if not WORSE fate than this app. I hope you realize your mistakes and stop slowly killing your students.

Blocksi NEEDS to be sued and or banned. It's essentially SPYWARE. It's extremely invasive and is somehow able to surveil what students are doing after school hours. It uses AI to filter what students are able to see, but most of the time it blocks SCHOOL CONTENT. It's rumored that it can see through your web-camera even if you've blocked it and is installed on students PERSONAL devices (because at my school you've got to buy your own) without parental consent. It's rated a 1.9 out of 5 stars on the Google Workspace Marketplace. Reviews include people calling it 'the bane of my existence", "the North Korea of school extensions", and "hindering our research". The intent behind Blocksi is good; keep students on track and monitor and block the students to make sure they aren't looking at anything inappropriate, however students shouldn't be objected to overblocking and constant 24/7 monitoring (which, may I say is creepy... I mean, what is Blocksi doing with our information behind the screen? Are they selling it to malicious people?). Also, it violates students first and fourth amendment rights. I go to a religious private school (specifically Catholic) but not everyone at the school is Catholic, so one time a student (who wasn't Catholic) wanted to look at a site about their religion and they were blocked, reason being "different religion". There is a chat feature, where teachers can send messages to students at any time, privately (talk about predatory behavior) or publicly, where they can humiliate certain students with messages that pop up to the whole class. Blocksi allegedly hires bots to spam the 5 star ratings. There are over 100 accounts (with the same profile picture) spamming 5 star reviews. They want their app to seem good and "well recognizable", to potential buyers.

Blocksi: "Hey bestieeeeee. JK, you blocked here's the only thing you can work on." Me: "Why Blocksi is great." Blocksi: "Yeah, it's a article on why we are great!" Me: "What about school stuff?" Blocksi: "We don't need THAT TRASH. It only gets in the way!" Me: "Are you actually a virus infecting my computer?" Blocksi: "Bestie, why would you think THAT? 🫥" Me: "Because you act like one." Blocksi: "Thtas not true! You are just trying to insult me." Me: "I'm not insulting you. I'm describing you." (To be countinued. I have to go to bed soon.)

King Von was known for being real, unfiltered, and unapologetically himself. If he ever saw something like Blocksi—an internet filter that blocks websites, videos, games, and anything “too fun”—he probably wouldn’t approve at all. Von grew up valuing freedom, choices, and learning things through real experiences. Someone trying to lock down your screen like it’s a digital prison? Yeah… he wouldn’t be rocking with that. On a serious note, Von’s story was built on survival, independence, and finding his own path. Tools like Blocksi can feel like the complete opposite—strict limits, heavy control, and no respect for personal space. Von believed in taking responsibility, standing on your own ten toes, and making decisions based on what you know, not what someone else forces on you. Blocksi, in that sense, feels like the type of thing that treats people like they can’t think for themselves. But let’s be real… imagine King Von looking at a laptop with Blocksi on it, trying to load a simple YouTube video only to get hit with that big “ACCESS DENIED” message. He would be like, “Man, what is this?!” And now the kawaii part kicks in: picture tiny chibi King Von with sparkly anime eyes, arms crossed, tapping his foot while the little Blocksi mascot nervously sweats. “Stop blocking my stuff,” chibi Von demands, while cute pastel stars float around him ✨😤. Still, behind the kawaii moments, the message stays serious: Von didn’t believe in artificial limits. He believed in letting people learn, fail, grow, and think on their own. Blocksi tries to create a bubble, but bubbles eventually pop. And whether you picture King Von in real life or in adorable chibi form, one thing stays the same—he would want people to have freedom, knowledge, and the ability to choose their own lane.

Blocksi: Crushing Student Dreams, One Block at a Time Blocksi is the ultimate power trip for teachers. Sure, it’s amazing for keeping kids on task by blocking distractions like game sites, but the real fun? Watching students try (and fail) to outsmart it. Nothing beats the look on their faces when they think they’ve found a loophole, only to be greeted by the cold, unfeeling Blocksi block page. The best part? Letting them think they’ve won by leaving a game unblocked just long enough for them to get comfortable. Then, BAM... block it mid-game and watch the despair set in. They’ll hit refresh a dozen times, frantically click other tabs, and eventually look up at you, utterly defeated. It’s like whack-a-mole, but with more satisfaction. Blocksi doesn’t just help manage a classroom; it turns your teacher desk into a throne of unmatched control. Students: don’t even try it. Blocksi always wins.

I am very disappointed in this website. Blocksi has made the school waste lots of time but by blocking things that weren't supposed to be blocked, including Google classroom and Google. It has also blocked informational videos on YouTube and has taken away Spotify not allowing kids to listen to music. This website is defiently not worth your time or money. Not to mention Blocksi is ran by robots and can not be trusted.

This website is absolutely ragebait it is so annoying because I'm tryna play tiny arena on azgames. i hate this so much you guys are mean

This is the North Korea of school extensions. This doesn't even violate privacy, it takes it out of your vocabulary. Malware would be a safer alternative to this spyware junk. The fact that ALL images and ALL websites can be blocked is giving me huge dystopian vibes. They claim to "safeguard" students when instead they deprive of them so deeply that water would be a once-in-a-lifetime treat. If 1984 had a real life equivalent, Big Brother would be scared of how immoral this is. A message for Blocksi and all future individuals and groups that advocate for censorship, all you are doing is creating mindless robots that will only know how to appease you, not how to truly be good.

it blocked me from me trying to block it when i was trying to blcok it and i cant freaking delete this app so this should be shut down. a rich person should buy this and shut it down.
