A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.

An hour later, police walked into her school and arrested her.

here's what happened in between.

Snapchat's AI scanned the private message. flagged it as a potential threat. automatically reported it to the FBI. the FBI forwarded it to local law enforcement. deputies arrived at the school within the hour.

she cooperated immediately. handed over her phone. when shown the message she said: "oh yes. okay. yeah. i'm realizing that was a bad joke. i did not mean it at all serious at all."

police determined she was not a threat. school officials determined she was not a threat. prosecutors reviewed and issued a disorderly conduct charge. she was released the next morning. she lost her student teaching placement.

This means:

Snapchat scans private messages.

Not just public posts or stories. private group chats between you and your closest contacts. automated AI. no human reviewed it first, got flagged and reported.

Snapchat AI → FBI → local police → school → arrest.

in under an hour.

Snapchat's privacy policy says it may share your information with law enforcement when it believes there is a risk of harm. the definition of "risk of harm" is determined by an algorithm. you are not told when a message is flagged. you are not told when a report is filed. you find out when the police arrive.

the message was private.

it wasn't.

Trump is running a criminal syndicate out in the open.

"He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption.

The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy.

An insider trading subscription service.

People will go to jail for this."

What's with all the cameras and extra police presence all over this town now?

Been gone for a while... Driving around town this week, its like every intersection has cameras.

Every mile or so I see patrol cruisers and unmarked trucks... and at night there's drones now?

From the east side, south and nw sides, its constant surveillance. I understand that crime ps an issue... but its THAT extreme now that we all have to give up our data and monitered constantly?

Guess this is the new normal and not many people care?

edit- it appears I wasted my time asking about this, the comments clearly show if you vote red, you support surveillance and big government.

Being a conservative isn't what it used to be.
