In a podcast with Steve Gibson I was watching this morning, they were talking about whether it would be OK for us to follow all children on their way from home to school (and back) and everywhere they were in public, listening to (and logging) every single thing they say because they were talking in public.
>The school district’s move has raised privacy concerns, with some comparing it to government-sponsored stalking.
But on the other side of things, there is targeted collection of public data, where teens trashed a home in New York and caused over $20k in damages.
>"parents of the hundreds of teens who broke into and destroyed former NFLer Brian Holloway's upstate vacation home are threatening to sue him for outing their brats on Twitter — saying he's spoiling their chances of getting into college."
I don't understand why vandals would post on twitter to boast publicly (in a way that can be easily linked back to their name) about their deeds. It seems to me that the school being proactive is morally wrong [TM] while someone trying to piece together who was present at the home at the time of the vandalism is right [TM].
[TM] my personal interpretation of right vs wrong. Not a legal opinion.
