Student Expelled for Tweet

Are you drunk again?

[BlackCat]

First off, "anti-terrorist laws" cannot say whether anything is "unconstitutional".

Secondly, **** you.

No, but politicians can and have

[BlackCat]

Err, that doesn't make a lick of sense.

I bet that McCarthy would understand it

[Lorizael]

Not even if the anti terrorist laws are saying it will be unconstitutional to deny giving that kind of information ?

Err, that doesn't make a lick of sense.

[BlackCat]

Allow me to reiterate:



This is not going to stnad.

Or even stand.

You yanks have history of totalitarian state activities, so why not now ?

[The Mad Monk]

Allow me to reiterate:

Oh, the **** train is just leaving the station on this one. All kinds of people getting all kinds of upset.

This is not going to stnad.

In germany I assume such an attempt would be a violation of Personal Rights as well as Data Privacy laws and maybe even a violation of employment law.

Count in all scandinavian countries.

WTF are wrong with you yanks ?

Unauthorised access of a computer system?

HR people could be setting themselves up for a world of hurt.

Wouldn´t surprise me...
after all these strategies (blackmailing/forcing people into giving out passwords) aren´t discernible anymore from strategies that are used in social hacking

In germany I assume such an attempt would be a violation of Personal Rights as well as Data Privacy laws and maybe even a violation of employment law.
(and even if the company wouldn´t get sued for it, it would be enough to sell the story to the press ... considering the fact that german people are extremly sensitized with regards to their data privacy, the publication of these practices would turn out as a huge PR debacle for the company that uses them)

(isn´t it even against the facebook TOS to give your password to anyone? [with other words ... these companies try to get their prospective employees to breach their TOS with facebook])

Yes. In fact, Facebook has come out and said that none of their users should comply with employers who ask this. They also claim it breaks some law, but I'm not sure which one.

I'm definitely not too happy with companies who ask prospective employees for their Facebook passwords, but I feel that's a step below this. They're not directly violating the Constitution, after all.

What????
Is that really true?
(Some) American companies are planning to force prospective employees to give out their facebook passwords (either that or no chance of getting hired) ???

I mean O.K., spying on Employees by checking what they publicly write on facebook ... thats probably normal nowadays ...
but forcing them to give out their facebook password seems to be a major intrusion into your privacy...
on the same level as forcing them to give out the password to all of their internet board accounts (like Apolyton) and to their most personal eMail accounts

(isn´t it even against the facebook TOS to give your password to anyone? [with other words ... these companies try to get their prospective employees to breach their TOS with facebook])

I remember some soccer players at my school getting suspended for three days for mooning the opposing team's spectators, but at least there were actual butts in involved and not just discussion of butts

And some dance squad members were suspended for having new members put things in their ***** during a hazing ritual, but again, there was actual ****-insertage and not just talk of ***** and the things that go in them

What kind of a douchebag expels a student for using the word "****"?

In hindsight, I'm incredibly lucky that I wasn't expelled for calling one of my teachers "impotent." Or for flipping somebody off and yelling "*******" out the window during driver's ed.
