I don’t think the government should be reading private messages
They’re not private. Never were. Snapchat was always a lie.
True but in this case the automated system got it right
Did they? Was this a genuine threat to student safety?
And even if they did get it right, how much privacy is worth giving up? How much would you like your speech chilled?
If a student teacher sent something like that to me I would almost certainly turn them for the safety of all involved. “Jokes” about violence is often times a sign of poor mental health.
Just to be clear I don’t support mass surveillance. However, I also can’t condone violence or threats of violence especially against children.
It almost certainly was not a sincere threat of violence. No one is asking you to condone threats of violence against children. You can narc on your friends all you like, but that’s a separate discussion.
