So the plaintiff had absolutely no ethical concerns about doing this?

Might make sense these days, just dont have children.

People are just going to get sick of the Internet, if they haven’t already, and start to look at it like a necessary evil they have to use to do certain things instead of what it once was which was fun and exciting. It’s sad.

You’re right on both points.

The headline of this article should have mentioned the reason her communication was flagged was because she mentioned shooting the student or the school. When you send a text, or Snapchat message, you are stripping out a wide range of non-verbal communication including intent and seriousness. So when someone sends a message with the comment that they might shoot a student or the school there is no way to judge these things. The last thing Snapchat wants or needs is an actual school shooting occurring that can be traced back to the shooter actually mentioning their intent to do so on their platform. With no way to judge intent Snapchat had to have a way to address these concerns. If an actual shooting was prevented then Snapchat would be lauded. Otherwise it’s spun like this article implying it’s a breach of privacy.

The world with social media is much different than the world before it. It’s changed the way people think, the types of things they think about and what they consider important. It therefore changes the way they act. Combine this with the ever growing surveillance state that intentionally wants to manipulate us and is able to do so at scale and speed and we find ourselves in the giant and dangerous mess we’re in now.

What kind of program is this and how did these immature girls get into it?

I’ve read that one of the jobs most suited to takeover by AI are CEOs.

It’s almost like evolution provides us with an endless supply of fools.

“the world offers me either loud, drunk jerks, immature idiots or the complete solitude I have now …” Nothing wrong with solitude but you’ve really got to get out and meet more people. Most people are not like this.
