re: Interesting Lawsuit in Madison, Mississippi

I have 2 humorous anecdotes, but nothing to contribute intellectually to the thread.

1. When I was in HS some of my friends got ahold of a picture that 3 girls posed topless in a hot tub in (all 17+). They got a screenprint and made tshirts and wore them as undershirts. Principal tried to get them suspended on it. Was unable because they did it outside of school, was not visible, girls were of age, and did not use school property for it. So they changed dress codes to say undershirts must have no screenprinting on it.

2nd one was when I was a network admin for a school district. Somebody made an Instagram feed called "Hot sluts of 3nout's employer's High School." Just pics of girls from the HS in bikinis.

We had given all students iPads and I was the Internet and app manager. So I got the happy job of figuring out who was loading the pics and if it was happening on school iPads. I was able to trace that the images were uploaded from an iOS device and that they weren't loaded from behind our firewall. The principal asked me to call Instagram and have them removed. I laughed and said that there's no way we can do that. It violates freedom of speech (us as a government entity) and Instagram's privacy policy. She demanded I do it anyways and I conferenced her in with facebook/Instagram and laughed profusely when they told her to kick dirt.
