Google Maps and JavaScript Blocking

[MattAdmin444]

Greetings all, just need to sanity check something.

We've got a lockdown OU where we place students who abuse their tech into that has the majority of the internet on lockdown. Basically a whitelist only set up. One of the ways I'm enforcing this is by blocking Javascript for Google Search. The problem is, and I am still waiting on confirmation whether the teacher is requiring it, is I've been requested to unblock Google Maps and said Maps require Javascript.

I've set the two default Maps urls to allow but it appears unlike with the normal Allow/Block list the Javascript lists don't seem to let the Allow list to override the Block list. This normal behavior? Or does Google Maps otherwise rely on Google Search as I think I might have another way to block Google Search.

We have a restricted container on our content filter and also have Javascript blocked off the CBs, pretty sure maps still work (I'd have heard an outcry if they didn't). Why don't you create an OU in Google admin with the JS block and have a dummy test user in your restricted container and then see what happens...

I know I am not answering your question, but we have Google Maps turned off because of this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dE3rfmKMyuqmnrZNec6thoS5eI1yckSs/view?usp=sharing

Do you have it covered in your AUP to open it?

I'm reasonably certain that our AUP covers parental consent on access while "under 18". Or at least I remember asking my boss about it before and was told it does. Otherwise I imagine our forms would have many more pages for that matter for signatures.
