"Why Are We Letting School Administrators Use Qualified Immunity To Escape Accountablity For Violating Free Speech Rights?"
Because we have different rules for different people.
If you and I trade the market on inside information, we go to jail
For those in Congress & their friends, its a job perk.
If you or I shoot someone because they pissed us off, we got to jail.
QI means never having to be responsible for some people.
We can never expect our betters to be bound by the rules meant for the little people. All men are created equal *
unless they have power then they can do whatever they want.
We need to teach the children early that their 'rights' only extend as far as an authority figure will allow.
We make a nice show of these rights being the bedrock of the nation, but in practice they always let our betters get away with ignoring them if their target is a lesser person.
Imagine if we put civics back in schools & taught children that they have rights that the system will recognize & hold everyone accountable if they violate them instead of looking for a loophole to make trampling those rights okay. Our betters might not manage to get away with so much if we knew the rules applied to everyone & they faced the same punishments for violating them.
Indoctrinate the children young so they never question authority and strive to someday gain enough power that they get to be the authority.

Re:
Warrants are supposed to be served on specific people/place/things they have to prove to a Judge that there is evidence supporting the need to search the people/place/things.
The Reverse Warrant lets them get information on everyone within an area around a time & then look to see who might be guilty. Its using technology that isn't as accurate as people think and violates the privacy of people guilty of nothing more than having been near an area.
(Mental Drift Net engage: Story here on TD about a man who was accused of murder based on a reverse warrant. He didn't kill the person, but the data let them think they did. They did no other investigation, they had their target & he was guilty. 3 minutes of investigation would have shown that he rode a bicycle, and the path he took was the same each time. He might have passed by the area but there was nothing showing him in or very near the house, but they kept saying he was guilty based on a very wide fishing net that violates the rights of many people because cops didn't want to bother with doing their job.)

"the "impact of a 50-state patchwork" is among the group's highest concerns. "
"A 50-state patchwork of state-based privacy laws creates more problems than it solves both for consumers and the digital economy," he said. "A single federal standard that applies to all 50 states is better for both consumers and businesses."
We tried having that and part of your membership purchased the votes to make sure the law never lived.
States are finally done with the feds putting donations ahead of citizens, ohh boo hoo we caused a problem that is big enough that now states are acting, because they know the feds are a bunch of corrupt fscks, in the interest of citizens and suddenly y'all whine & complain.
All of these "horrible horrible" things befalling your industry...

Enjoy the death of 50 cuts, hopefully you'll get lucky and it'll only be state level... imagine the pain if they go to smaller levels of government each with different rules just to spite you.

I have to ask the question...
Was she dropped a lot as a child because her mom liked the nice thumping noise?
We should allow those working in an illegal industry file a lawsuit, in a court, declaring they are sex workers & demanding to be compensated because they can no longer accept plastic in exchange for the services they provide.
o_O
Perhaps she has just been in her ivory tower removed from reality for to long & no longer understands how reality works.
Sex work is work.
Sex work is NOT people forced into doing it.
Perhaps if we stopped harassing those people who chose to do sex work, we could discover finally that 42 million child hookers aren't trucked in to every superb owl.

Pretty sure that the USF is still trying to figure out how they might get back the billions that have been stolen from it.
Even when the rules say there is a punishment for not doing it they still manage to get more money for doing nothing.

This does nothing to improve anyones perception of the legal system not taking care of its own problem children & delivering punishments that would stop these sorts of bullshit cases.
Bliss has abused the legal system at every turn to bring meritless cases & attempt to gather information for one case using other cases.
