Yes liability is ultimately in the hands of the user but the site should also have better controls. Even fake depictions of nude children should be considered child pornography especially if they are sexually suggestive in any form.

"You can stop yourself from posting, but you can't stop others from posting. Then the only way is to remove your digital footprint at all." Well, he didn't foresee the SMS history to be hacked, but smart appliances listening in, he figured that out way sooner too. Also, front face-facing camera on phones, cover that up till you are using it...he did warn possible hack to the main camera of phone, but...whatever, as if people would listen.

@@Leah_Newton phones facilitating targeted ads is pretty funny sometimes. It's became a staple when you talk or write about something, and right after you see an ad. I think it goes a bit deeper. Was scratching my head because of this one for a while. I couldn't understand why I was getting dog food and toy ads. I don't have a dog. I never buy anything related. I almost never hear a dog, neither does my phone. Only thing I could think of is because I taught my cat to play fetch, so me goofing around with her when we play apparently sounds like a dog owner 😆

There should be criminal charges for the boys that do this to their female peers

absolutely. lawyer up!

[@peterbaruxis2511]

Actually AI generated images of the offenders could go a long way towards making them understand the consequences their victims faced. If you get my drift.

[@Dratim-l6b]

I bet that some photographers are doing it when they go to high school sporting events. It’s not just their classmates. Pictures are taken be so many people every day.

[@AlexUSAF]

This type of behavior makes me sick. No one has a right to do this to a minor, & the lesson learned here is do not send your kids to public schools because not only do they indoctrinate youth with ugly politics, & pornography disguised as kids books, but they do not stop, prevent, nor punish those responsible for engaging in such heinous actions. Kids need to be protected.

[@GL-pk5xd]

If you know the boy who was suspended file a lawsuit against his family. If you go in the pockets and the BS will stop. The school should have expelled the student.

Expelled is zip. Go w' the lawsuit.

ARE PARENTS WHOENABLE THE VISUALLY RECORDED BIRTHS FOR MEDICAL SCHOOLS UN-SUE-ABLE?

[@LearningCurves123]

Share this. Parents need to know what's happening with their children's pictures. DO NOT post pictures of your children. I know you're proud of your babies as I am mine but in this day and age, you cannot trust an innocent picture to not be manipulated on the internet. Stop posting them.

That coming from a guy whose family had pictures of children painted on the wall in their mansions pool room

Young woman handled it well .....the problem is obvious....thx for reporting on it......parents pay attention ...

[@inteesapplebottomgenes1120]

This is unexceptional! Did the school district not want a bad image or did one or some of the boys involved have family employed by the school? It makes someone wonder why charges weren't filed.

[@xonx209]

They should file a civil suit against the boy who created this.

I've been saying this but I'm so grateful I grew up without internet. We got it while I was in high school and that was bad enough, thankfully then not everyone had them and cell phones didn't really have internet then. We pretty much had pagers.

There is no way this can be stopped, only way is not to use social media

This will help but the other big problem is that the world seems to think that anyone in public can be photographed or videotaped without permission

Simple. They should let all students know they'll be placed on a sex offender register if they do this.

no. i believe that's going too far. temporary expulsion and being able to be sued and or their parents sued for damages

[@kartavianmacrath7219]

My question is , what would the school do if a student hides in the locker room and takes a video of their fellow students showering and upload that to the internet? I would think the consequences would be more severe, but in a way, what these kids did to these other kids is worse. Why is the punishment not on the same level. How do we protect our youth from this if schools are just going to slap the offender on the wrist?

There's got to be a criminal aspect of this case that can lead to jail time. A strong message needs to be shown in order for this to stop. Once the kid/kids are incarcerated, then a message needs to be sent to all the students to show what happens when you do this.
