Fed instructs teachers to Facebook creep students

Education Department officials are threatening school principals with lawsuits if they fail to monitor and curb students’ lunchtime chat and evening Facebook time for expressing ideas and words that are deemed by Washington special-interest groups to be harassment of some students.

In a few more years, once everyone has gotten the message that what you post on facebook will be scrutinized by teachers, bosses, govt agents, etc, people will either stop using facebook or at least stop using it to express their opinions and post incriminating pics.

They developed some tool to spy on kids. It automatically scans all your posts, mail, etc. and flags stuff that might be bad.
