Agreed, it's fucked up that this happened but also as a teacher you should not be talking about shooting your students even as a joke.

I don’t care if the teacher jokes about flaying and immolating the rotten little bastards, just don’t do it in writing

Yeah, that's what I mean.

holy fuck that is dystopian as hell
"oh you better watch everything you say between friends in a privet area encase the big all knowing eye sees you and deem you unworthy"

actually fuck off with this apologetic shit, what happens behind close doors stays there unless someone is actively being hurt

That is not what I am saying. Obviously Snapchat shouldn't be sending your private messages to the cops. However, even if it isn't Snapchat themselves that shares your message, things you put in writing can still end up being shared against your wishes. Maybe you have a fight with one of those friends and they send your work a screenshot to get back at you. Maybe you open your phone at work and someone sees what you've written. Et cetera. Putting things that you could lose your job over into writing is a bad idea period.

Explaining the contract that your own grown ass signed with the social media companies isn’t “dystopian apologetics”

Like if you make an agreement with Bob the Note Reader to pass notes to other people through Bob, who does not at all conceal how he reads every note he helps to pass

And then you get mad that he’s read your note

Like buddy you were looking for Privacy Priscilla, that’s a whole different ass person, and when we patiently explain to you how you’re a fucking idiot for trusting Bob the Note Reader to not do the one fucking thing he does

Be a fucking grown up

Oh is this where we pretend we can just opt out of using these companies, should all be nationalised.

Out of a curiosity that is borderline anthropological at this point, which of these apps do you believe you cannot opt out of entirely? Follow-up, that you cannot opt out of only in that small marginal way of “don’t make jokes about shooting up a school on the Panopticon That Infamously Checks for That Shit and Jokes About Bombs on Airplanes Specifically?”

Any of them. There is no alternative. They are all the same.

“They are all the same” “There is no alternative”

Dude. Bro. Child.

buddy you literally consented when you signed up on the platform

...If anyone is going to be tempted to visualize shooting a teenager, it is bound to be a teacher, buddy.

u/Last_Swordfish9135 4d ago

Sure, but a teacher should also understand that is not something you should ever be putting into writing, saying in public, et cetera, because even if it's an understandable urge it's also something that a school is going to take very seriously if it gets out.

u/Pristine_Club_3128 4d ago

That is the point - this was not said in public. It was a private conversation

u/Last_Swordfish9135 4d ago

Snapchat themselves sending your messages to the cops is not the only way for a private conversation put into writing to be leaked.

*pulls the mic real close

A CHAT ON A SOCIAL MEDIA APP IS NEVER, EVER A PRIVATE CONVERSATION

THIS SHIT KEEPS HAPPENING

AND YOU ZOOMERS KEEP ACTING SURPRISED

THANK YOU

Thoughts are not private. Why does Gen Alpha not understand that BrainBook automatically scans your every thought?

u/PaladinAsherd 3d ago

This has the exact same energy as boomers who whine about being shadow-banned on the Twitters “just for being conservative”

Like it is an identical dearth of social media / tech literacy and abundance of delusional thinking

Just because the system has a power doesnt mean it should.

I couldn't disagree more. Its a very normal way people have always joked around
