This is frustrating. Obviously it's not okay to make jokes like that and I even think some sort of punishment might be okay, but strip searching and jailing her overnight? You aren't creating someone who will think before they speak, you're making someone who will be paranoid of all legal processes and never trust any government official ever again for anything because they got fucking STRIP SEARCHED AND DETAINED OVERNIGHT over a really shitty joke.

I don't understand why she was arrested, her "threat" was obviously a joke. I guess jokes are illegal now

Unsurprising to me this is happening in schools, they've got to be ready for the low wage retail jobs many will have after graduation. A lot of places have been upgrading their phones to Zoom-enabled devices, which have the ability to record and summarize all employee conversations held near them for management or HR. I've worked in a couple places recently where it got rolled out and there were hints they were using it that way.
Anyone willing to call me paranoid, or supportive of the idea this tech is used this way or will be, please respond, retail isn't really full of many tech savvy people and I'm curious if I'm imagining the capability/use of this, or if others have had similar experiences.
“It made me feel like, is this the America we live in?”
Some people are really fucking ignorant.
In a country weary of school shootings, several states have taken a harder line on threats to schools. Among them is Tennessee, which passed a 2023 zero-tolerance law requiring any threat of mass violence against a school to be reported immediately to law enforcement.
The 13-year-old girl arrested in August 2023 had been texting with friends on a chat function tied to her school email at Fairview Middle School, which uses Gaggle to monitor students’ accounts.
- how to teach kids to be a good corpo zombie. On corporate/school chat you don’t chat otherwise you are sent to camp/prison /fired
- all of that monitoring for school shooting! What about banning gun that will be cheaper but yeah no ai software monitoring

School shootings? Nah, not really a problem, plus it's impossible, impossible i tell you, to solve that!
Students making jokes, however, now THAT is a problem we can solve right here and now! Those fuckers will learn their lesson.

Gotta indoctrinate them into the surveillance state early. Gotta break them before they learn to resist.
Do you want to badly fuck up a society? Because that is how you badly fuck up a society.
