    Kids are being conditioned to expect that their private affairs will be surveilled and held against them -- by universities, parents, future employers... everyone. That's ultimately more troubling than anything related to this specific incidenthttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1140614666399473665 …

    It's insane and oppressive to rescind college admission on the basis of "offensive statements" teens made on social media. In order to gain admission to elite institutions, teens now have to be career-minded, perfect little angels beginning at childhood https://twitter.com/KyleKashuv/status/1140605133346283521 …

        Recently I heard some parents describe the lengths they go to monitor their teen's private communications, without the teen's knowledge. All texts, social media, etc. -- the parents had surreptitious access to. They even track the teen's precise locational movements. It's nuts

        The US has never been safer, but parents have seemingly never been more paranoid about surveilling every aspect of their kids' lives under the guise of "safety" -- when there's really no threat to speak of. The same invasive, privacy-destroying mindset afflicts elite institutions

        As we continue to burn the 1st and 4th Amendments on a daily basis, with soft, usefully idiotic busy-body moralists leading the charge, we're going to see more and more stories like this. First they regulate public speech. Unsatisfied, they continue on to regulate private speech.

        Starts with baby cameras. The surveillance state starts early. This is not trolling. My son became aware of his camera at two and started asking to turn it off.

        They’re also being conditioned to never say what they think, and to keep that simmering resentment bottled up.
