Idaho administrators, students at odds over Internet privacy

SHADES OF GEORGE ORWELL

So now the Thought Police have found a new source to surf to get their jollies!

These people do not have the obligation to troll students' off-campus activities. Just because the students are stupid enough to post their activities on-line does not obviate the principle of spying and running to tell mommies and daddies what little Junior and little Missy are up to. Not even if it is "legal" and does not involve any invasion of privacy laws. It still is, by definition, invasion of privacy.

Actually, I'd be willing to bet that 94.3% of the students postings are "All Brag, No Fact", anyway.

STUDENTS -- implant a virus or three, and warn your friends to stay away from that particular site!

Just sign me, "Been There"

To L.G.:

You gave up your right to privacy by posting information available to the world. Deal with it.

If these postings are so 'illegal' then why aren't the police patrolling MySpace? Oh yep, thats right, because its constitutionally forbidden.
