A 22-year-old student teacher in Illinois sent a private Snapchat message to her boyfriend and two roommates.

A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.

An hour later, police walked into her school and arrested her.

here's what happened in between.

Snapchat's AI scanned the private message. flagged it as a potential threat. automatically reported it to the FBI. the FBI forwarded it to local law enforcement. deputies arrived at the school within the hour.

she cooperated immediately. handed over her phone. when shown the message she said: "oh yes. okay. yeah. i'm realizing that was a bad joke. i did not mean it at all serious at all."

police determined she was not a threat. school officials determined she was not a threat. prosecutors reviewed and issued a disorderly conduct charge. she was released the next morning. she lost her student teaching placement.

This means:

Snapchat scans private messages.

Not just public posts or stories. private group chats between you and your closest contacts. automated AI. no human reviewed it first, got flagged and reported.

Snapchat AI → FBI → local police → school → arrest.

in under an hour.

Snapchat's privacy policy says it may share your information with law enforcement when it believes there is a risk of harm. the definition of "risk of harm" is determined by an algorithm.

you are not told when a message is flagged.
you are not told when a report is filed.
you find out when the police arrive.

the message was private.

it wasn't.

movie theater tickets being $18-$20 is insane btw. when i was in high school, they’d be $10 on the weekends and $7.50 for a weekday matinee. this is why kids don’t *do* anything anymore.

they’ve been priced out of everything except being at home.

every youtuber with a second channel that they frequently post on and a "main" channel that they haven't posted on in years is going to ultra hell

i hate when people like my mom think theyre smarter for humblemaxxing like the lengths that theyll go to say that some bullshit like an anteater is "actually smarter than a human" is so performative and annoying

can we normalize putting summaries on the back of books again instead of reviews? I just genuinely want to know what the book is about before picking it up.

this is why we need to ban podcasts because a real journalist would have pushed back on her very obvious lies, brought up the Mormon stuff and connection to ballerina farm.

Is this going to genuinely be the first time in like a century where the developed world actually has to worry about crop harvests failing en masse?
