Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations

With you up until bringing the far left into this. What does universal healthcare, trans rights or taxing billionaires have to do with the surveillance state, aside from dismantling it?
I would argue that universal healthcare, trans rights and taxing billionaires are not far left, but Im not American.

“Sometimes you have to look at the trade for the greater good,” said Board of Education member Anne Costello in a July 2024 board meeting.
No no no no.
Exactly.
Its not even for the greater good: Ask for an example of chat control type laws leading to convictions and the only answer you will get is ”we cant discuss individual cases due to privacy / prejudice for a court case" -
In theory. Realistically it’s also about what you’re shot with and where. A robust man shot in the gut with a standard .22 that doesn’t ricochet or hit anything immediately vital probably isn’t even going to ICU after the bullet is fished out. 9mm changes the odds on everything. Again though, 1 bullet to the gut may not be an ICU scenario after surgery, depending. An AK/AR though, why are they even legal for civilians?
A child, with any bullet, I don’t like to think about it.
To the gut? It doesn't matter what the round is. You're going to the ICU. A .22 isn't as non-lethal as the memes like to make it out to be, and your gut is a bunch of very critical soft tissue.
If it's to the arm or something, fine. Anywhere in the torso, you're going to the ICU most likely.

Students who think they are chatting privately among friends often do not realize they are under constant surveillance
This is the problem

I couldn't agree more.
It's fucking pathetic.
Citizen! Good news! Your writings have been randomly selected by Friend Computer for review!

The next few years is going to be like the time Post Office employees were hounded and had their lives destroyed over what was later found to be a software fault and not mass Human corruption, but on a far grander scale.

"Daily murder" is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it's something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It's easy for there to be a "daily murder" in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.
Using "few" to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.
Shame on you for this disingenuity.
Even when we go per capita the US stays a shithole, it's not like they were trying to actively misinform people.

Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.
You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.
Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?
It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”
You keep putting words in my mouth so this conversation is over.

There is something fundamentally fucked up in a country that arrests and puts in jail a 13 years old kid over a bad joke.
Are schools not government organisations (in most cases) and would they not be subject to the first amendment?

Talking about online privacy has become the “safe sex talk” of the last decade or so. You have to keep reminding kids so that it sticks. Nothing you say online is private, it can all be copied/screengrabbed/recorded/photographed and shared by the recipient. What you say, any images you post, etc. On school or work devices they can essentially see most everything, nothing is private. Even if you make efforts to cover your tracks, a truly determined agency with enough resources likely will find out who you are if they want to.

Holy shit, the amount of surveillance the teens are under is ungodly and people blame the chatbot? And there wasn't even a human kind enough to speak with the girl before calling the fucking cops? I see a lot of blame to place here, but it's not the chatbot who is to blame.
- The kids for bullying her for her tan
- The school boards implementing the surveillance
- The parents who allowed such surveillance in the first place
- The person screening what was flagged for not sending the school counselor to talk with the kid
- The person calling the cops
- The cops for arresting an 8th-grader and DOING A STRIP SEARCH AND KEEPING HER OVERNIGHT WTF instead of handing her over to her parents
Everyone of them failed a 13 year old girl. All of them should be ashamed.
The cops for arresting an 8th-grader
This is America, that's what they do. They love overreacting to small problems.
I was arrested for self-defence in a highschool fight, the actual bully who attack me did not get in any sort of trouble. If I didn't have citizenship, there was a chance that incident could've led to my deportation, even tho I was a minor. (USCIS can see all your arrests, including those that did not led to a conviction, or even expunged or pardoned offences, and they could retroactively revoke your legal status if they find out you lied.) But luckily charges were dropped because of couse they don't have the evidence to prove it and I have a clean record so they didn't bother prosecuting.
There is probably an alternate timeline somewhere out there in the multiverse where I got deported and had to learn another language that I haven't spoken for over a decade. Depressing to think about.
(Well that is still technically a possibility, all they have to do is make up some bullshit about "being a spy" and put me in gitmo)

The first amendment is not absolute - things like threats are not protected speech. Although I agree that in this instance there might be a case that her constitutional rights were violated, I suspect it would be dismissed as having been a justifiable action from the administration/police who "couldn't ignore a credible threat" or something equally bullshit...

But they ARE leftist topics

The only hope is to immigrate to a place without this shit.
Go fuck yourself (As in the school)
-

Yes but that doesn't mean it's a far left topic. This is the problem in politics nobody has the ability to understand that even an individual political system is an entire political Spectrum onto its own. Be it right or left.
-
I don't understand why she was arrested, her "threat" was obviously a joke. I guess jokes are illegal now
Well in Scotland they certainly are
